ᐅ Building an End-Terrace House – What Technical Requirements Should Be Considered?

Hello everyone,
First of all, I would like to say a friendly hello to the group. I just registered because I couldn’t find any help on Google for my question.
We are planning to apply for a corner townhouse plot in our community. However, the municipality has not hired a developer to build the houses; instead, the houses have to be constructed independently by the owners.
There is a points system for the application, where factors like the number of children, how long you have lived in the community, and so on are weighted differently.
If you join forces with other interested parties and apply together, these points are added up, increasing your chances of being allocated a building plot. At the same time, you commit to building together, meaning you also have to coordinate with a developer.
We have tried to find people from our community, where we also live, who share the same ideas for building. This turned out to be impossible, as everyone has different opinions on how to build.
Therefore, we will probably apply alone for an end townhouse. However, I am now wondering if there are any laws or regulations regarding self-managed construction of townhouses? For example, if we build two full floors with an attic and a mono-pitched roof, is it allowed for the middle house to have a gable roof and only two full floors? Or does the first person to build set the standard that the others must follow?
Please forgive me if these are beginner questions — but I am one.
Thank you for your help!

I have also asked our building authority about the issue of development. Let's see what kind of response I get from them.

I’m a bit pessimistic about the houses if everyone has their detached house or single-family home individually designed by an architect.I see colors and vibrant life instead. I find black as a facade color difficult.

It doesn’t have to. A cross-laminated timber beam doesn’t have to look the same.
And technically, that’s not a problem either.If the heights are different, the gable of the taller house may suddenly be exposed and then has to be insulated and plastered like an exterior wall. An eave overhang is not possible at that point because it would extend over the neighbor's property. The neighbor with the lower house must create a proper roof connection to the higher gable. The lower house might also face issues with the use of solar or photovoltaic systems due to shading. Last but not least, I see an increased potential for disputes between neighbors. So, I immediately see several avoidable problems here.

Do fire protection walls always have to be installed between houses? That can be quite a challenge when each one is built differently.Not necessarily. Between two houses, there must be an F 90 wall (fire-resistant for 90 minutes). An F 90 rating can be achieved with walls starting at 17.5cm (7 inches) thickness.
montessalet5 Dec 2018 11:24The fundamental issue—the absolutely necessary coordination of the houses being built—is here placed solely on the homeowners. From my perspective, this is extremely demanding and frankly quite negligent on the part of the selling municipality. Some requirements within the development plan to ensure at least a minimum level of coordination would be more than reasonable—instead, as some have suggested, the construction could be managed by a single developer (meaning awarding the contract to one developer with the appropriate conditions). I only see one problem after another here—unless all the builders come together, sit down at one table, and ideally build with a SINGLE provider, and at the same time. This would likely also be significantly more cost-effective than individual building.
Personally, I would NEVER want to build like this, to be honest. However, I do see and understand the difficult situation with the hardly or not at all available building plots (not to mention the prices).
