Hello everyone,
I’m new here and have a feasibility question. It concerns a house that already has a basement and a foundation about 1 meter (3 feet) thick. The house was built in 1964. My question is whether it would be possible to expand the basement below this building, more specifically beneath the foundation (which I think is a better option than breaking up the foundation), potentially adding two underground levels. At the rear, there is plenty of green space adjacent to the property, and behind that are houses we also own and rent out. If this is possible, how would you estimate the costs?

If not everything is going to be built under (I deny that, since that would also destroy the root system, and there are a lot of beautiful fruit trees), but about 40 - 60% And who is supposed to grant a building permit / planning permission for that? I’m just reluctantly bringing you back to reality...

I have two quick questions for you:
1) How old are you?
2) What do you smoke?

See Building Use Ordinance § 19Maybe one of the James Bond supervillains can recommend their planners – they somehow manage to turn entire volcanic islands into world-destroying factories without anyone noticing. 😉
