Inspired by @Alessandro, I’m starting my own house building thread here. For several months now, I have been an active reader, witnessing many interesting, exciting, and sometimes difficult experiences in this forum. I’ve learned a lot and shared in many joys, anxieties, and challenges.

We bought our plot at the end of 2016, planned extensively, and then waited even longer for the building permit / planning permission – unfortunately for over a year. By now, we have been working on the interior finishing for several weeks, and due to COVID-19, this will probably take even longer.

Here are some photos of the model and the original floor plans:

Yes, @11ant, you could say that... Luckily, no one wanted to buy it.

What are those huge iron rods sticking out of the ground?

In Switzerland, the boundaries of a new building must be "marked out" beforehand. This applies not only to the ground but also to the heights, so that neighbors can see how their view will be affected.

This becomes quite interesting for multi-family buildings with five floors. However, when Hochzwei in Lucerne was built, I did not see these markings.

Exactly... staking out during the building permit / planning permission process. I didn’t know that this isn’t common practice in Germany...

@Mellina, how long does the staking actually have to stay in place? Did you have to stake out only the "new" part, or also the areas of the existing house to be demolished where you are building over?

As long as the building permit / planning permission is legally valid. We had to mark out everything; there were also a few rods on the roof of the old house...
