ᐅ A private road is required to provide access to the property.

We (3 parties – planned 3 single-family homes) are about to purchase a plot of land. We still need a private road for access.

Does anyone know how to proceed here? Is it necessary to hire an architect for the construction, or is "just an engineer/civil engineer" enough?

Has anyone had experience with this?

Thanks

1) The municipality will neither want nor take this path. It will remain private. Bet on it.
2) This is an extended driveway. Discuss with a landscaping contractor or civil engineer how to achieve it most cost-effectively.
3) Check whether the local authority imposes restrictions on surface sealing. For example, asphalt may not be allowed in that case.
Divided by three, the cost can be quite reasonable. However, a maintenance agreement (RüLa) must be established, as this path needs to be properly maintained.

As a precaution, I would also check with the waste collection service to see how they handle pickup—whether they will access each individual house or possibly only the street entrance...

According to the plans, it will remain a private road—I agree completely with the suggestion from @Nordlys.

However, when it comes to waste collection or street cleaning, it doesn’t really matter. Snow removal has been streamlined over the last 10 years anyway, with only main roads being cleared.

With just three houses, you should seriously consider whether waste collection vehicles are even allowed or should enter the property. As a resident, I would rather accept having to roll the bin 20 meters (65 feet) further than having to refurbish the paving after 10 years.

I would simply recommend calling a well-known local earthworks contractor or the building authority. They will know exactly what documents need to be provided and by whom.

The building authority can also provide information on to what extent the paved area belongs to the individual properties.

Before construction, a temporary construction access road is advisable.

Bet you the containers have to be placed at the cul-de-sac? That’s better anyway, as the weekly truck would soon damage the access road otherwise.

Yes, but what’s the problem?
We’ve already discussed this 🙂 How many meters is it for the rear one???? 🙂

Yvonne, there is no problem. We just happened to send very similar messages at the same time.
