ᐅ Using an empty, privately owned building plot without permission.

I was at our empty building plots today and was surprised to find the entire site filled with (heavy-duty) vehicles. Next door, a prefabricated house was being assembled, and all the vehicles involved in the construction were parked on our property.
Of course, they couldn’t ask for permission since there is no name sign on the plot. I don’t really mind in principle, as long as no damage occurs. For that reason, I took photos of the currently intact manholes as well as the vehicles with their license plates.
My question: Does simply driving on the property cause any potential damage or problems later on? (Keyword: soil compaction). If not, are they allowed to stay there as long as they want? Otherwise, what is the recommended procedure? Alternative parking options for the vehicles are very limited.

At our construction site, the work area also extended onto all neighboring properties. We then asked them to stop because at least one future neighbor is quite particular. There were already many discussions about this before we even started building.
Now our property is surrounded by a construction fence, and the friendly workers on site have to manage within the space of our property.
It’s working well. And as mentioned earlier, if the other houses were already built, they wouldn’t have any other choice anyway.

I don’t generally mind, but I would expect to be asked beforehand if it’s okay, especially when there are already shafts involved. At least this is how I would handle it myself: request permission and clearly state upfront that any damage caused will not be the responsibility of the property owner.
I would do the same. But when our neighbors started building, none of the neighbors really knew each other yet. The contractor just went ahead. Often, everything was refreshingly straightforward and low on bureaucracy on the construction site. I wish it were sometimes like that at work, too.

In theory, your construction could also be starting at the same time, and then all the stuff from the neighbor’s construction site would be in the way.
