Hello
We are building with a construction company, and the architect has been designing since March 2nd, but we still have not received the building permit / planning permission.
The architect supposedly has all the documents; only the site plan from another department is missing.

Does anyone have any idea if it is possible to set a deadline or something like that?
I feel helpless, and there must be something that can be done.
The contract does not specify when the house should be completed either.

Best regards

Half a year isn’t really that long.

I can imagine that after a year you might be able to send a reminder.

Are you finished with everything? Is the design how it’s supposed to be?
Eventually, the architect will finish—he wants to get paid too 🙂

Maybe try calling the architects’ association and ask?

The architect works for the homebuilding company.

The architect meeting took place on March 2, and it is a standard prefabricated house without any extras.

Yes, everything is finished.
The signed design has already been sent.
Everything is great.
Only the architect is still waiting for a site plan from a department.

Ouch. I hope you weren’t equally naive regarding the fixed price agreement. You probably haven't agreed on any compensation for additional bank costs due to delays either, right?

From which department exactly? The building authority / planning department or the house building company? We requested our site plan ourselves ...
