Hello dear forum,
During our paving work, we discovered that our construction company has misplaced the eastern property boundary. According to the land registry office, the boundary markers are set 1 meter (3 feet) inside my property. Therefore, the builder had to assume the boundary extended by 1 meter (3 feet).
At the rear, everything fits, but the company took 1.25 meters (4 feet) at the front. The problem now is that the house is completely finished, and I had ordered a 6-meter (20 feet) wide driveway. However, at one point, the driveway is 6 meters (20 feet) wide, while at the front near the street it is only 5.75 meters (19 feet). As a result, it is misaligned.
My carport is also supposed to be 6 meters (20 feet) wide. It was specifically approved as a 9.00 x 6.00 meter (30 x 20 feet) boundary-aligned structure. Now, it would either be skewed over the 9.00-meter (30 feet) length or only 5.75 meters (19 feet) wide.
Do I still have any legal options to take action against my construction company? Claims for damages? Any reference standards? Could this slight misalignment of the house cause further problems?
Thank you very much for your help.
Kind regards

The 3m (10 feet) rule actually applies to almost all plots. And in my thread, no one could understand why I am upset about 7.80m (25.6 feet) then )-:
The statement is simply not complete when kept brief. In Bavaria, a fire resistance rating of 1 hour applies, with a minimum of 3 meters (10 feet). The 1 hour rating can only be changed to at least 3 meters (10 feet) under certain conditions, and even then, not on all four walls simultaneously.

I’m already glad after reading around that we don’t have to build “in the valley” anymore...
Hope the distances are respected in the OP’s case, because the building authority officials don’t like that at all.

Are we in Tokyo or what? ^^
And of course, the 3 m (10 feet) rule doesn’t always apply. It’s just a general statement because it is included in most building regulations. However, the zoning plan or building permit / planning permission may require more, which the builder obviously knows.
