Hello everyone,
After searching for some time, we were fortunate to secure a plot of land. Now comes the stressful phase, as usual: planning. I urgently need your advice.
1. Challenge – Demolition
There is an old semi-detached house on the plot that is no longer habitable and must be demolished. Both semi-detached houses were built around 1930 and most likely share a common party wall. Is it possible to demolish the house without damaging the neighboring property?
2. Challenge – Full Basement
The existing house has only a partial basement, about 20 sqm (215 sq ft). According to the development plan, we are allowed to build 17 x 7.5 m (56 x 25 ft). Is it possible to excavate a full basement given the adjacent house?
3. Challenge – Architect
We would like to build with an architect but have not found one so far. I’m also unsure if every architect can handle the two challenges mentioned above. I found the portal construyo online, which seems interesting. Does anyone have experience with such a portal?
I would be very happy and grateful for any comments or advice.
Best regards,
Zonny

The architects’ chambers also maintain lists of their members. In some areas, these lists can be filtered by specialization. Thanks @Myrna_Loy. I found the website and located two architectural firms nearby. I will contact them to inquire further. I expect it might be expensive.

I don’t understand 🙂, simple German please. You had called the real estate agent "Immobilien," which is the term used in France; in Germany, the term is "Makler."

Yes, so a 3m (10ft) distance to the neighboring property line must be maintained, almost 7.5m (25ft) wide. At the back then as in the building envelope, about 17m (56ft) deep. However, on the front approximately 10m (33ft) with a typical pitched roof, one-and-a-half stories, and in the rear area flatter.

- gritzmann-architekten Yes, neither seems to be in the “single-family home builder” price range ;-)
