Hello everyone,
Slowly but surely, things are finally starting to happen here.
The construction sign has been standing on our plot since the beginning of the year. Last week, the temporary power supply box was installed and connected today.
Our site manager previously informed us that we will definitely need to have the street closed “at some point,” which is not a big issue since it can easily be bypassed.
The street was actually closed for the past few days without any prior notice. Also, the construction site a bit diagonally across from our property (managed by the city) did not provide any advance information and simply put up no-parking signs.
Should we inform the neighbors about possible inconveniences, and if so, what measures (extent) should we mention? Would a polite letter be sufficient, or how would you handle this?
We are building in a gap between buildings, and all the neighbors have lived here for a long time.

We currently live in the second row with 5 neighbors. Only one other household owns their property; the others are renters. None of them have introduced themselves… Some don’t even respond when you say hi or hello. You can definitely encounter people like that. In our last rental building, we held a party for all tenants, but two households didn’t show up, even though they were home. They were also the kind of people who barely said hello. But well, you just have to accept that. We live in a large city (outskirts), and considering that, I think we already have almost a village atmosphere when it comes to neighborly relations. I really value that and would always invest time in it again because it usually pays off two or three times over.

The detour takes basically 1 minute. Only the two households across the street won’t be able to park in front of their houses, but that should be manageable for 2-3 days :The neighbors will probably understand, even if they happen to have a large delivery or contractors there at the time.

The neighbors will probably notice anyway, especially if they happen to receive a large delivery or have contractors working themselves at that time.Since there are still 362 other days in the year, I almost assume that this situation is unlikely to occur. And if it does, I’m sorry, but I can’t stop or postpone the construction because of every possible contingency.
If I find out in advance about a date when and how long a road closure or access restriction will take place, I will of course inform the neighbors who will be directly affected.
