Hello,
I am new here and already have the first question:
I have a plot of land, which is half already developed. I would like to build a new building on the other half. The necessary sewer and rainwater pipes must be laid across the entire property in order to reach the sewer where the existing house drains (it's about 30m of pipe + inspection chamber). The sewer association has already approved this.
They also informed me that the sewer lies at approximately -1.70m. If I now apply a 1% gradient and take into account the slope of the terrain, I am at -0.7m at the new house. Who can now tell me exactly how this works with the house construction and connection? Do I possibly have to move the house, raise the terrain, install a lift station etc.? Is this done by the architect of the new house (although I am not that far in planning yet—feasibility study), by a surveyor commissioned by the sewer association (who, in turn, does not know the required foundation of the new house), or by a civil engineer...?
Best regards
Holger
