ᐅ Timeframe Between Submitting the Building Application and Moving into the New Home

On average, eight months pass in Germany between submitting the building permit application for your dream house and moving in.

Can anyone confirm this? I just read this "statistical value" (?) in a "home magazine" and I am curious about its accuracy. If this is true, that would be great. However, I have never heard or read this figure anywhere else.

Thank you.

Prefabricated houses might also be included in this average. That could explain why the average is quite short.

Yes, that could be the case. For us, the complete process took 12 months: building permit/planning permission submitted 06.18, approved 08.18, existing house demolished 09.18, basement construction 12.18, house framework erected in 2 days 02.19, move-in 06.19

For us, the process was quite fast. We submitted the building permit application in early December and received the approval by mid-January. The general contractor started at the end of February, and the move is planned for the end of September / October.

Building permit (planning permission) application submitted in December 2014, construction started in May/June 2015, and moved in January 2016... so it took us 13 months.

We were even faster with solid construction.
But I still recommend planning at least 12 months.

We are building a prefabricated house.
Building permit / planning permission submitted in February 2020
Approved in March 2020
Move-in perhaps June/July 2021?
