Hello everyone,

we have received a quote for the surveying work and I wanted to quickly check if it seems appropriate and if anything might be missing. The plot was purchased in Hesse in a new residential development:

Rough staking out: €225 plus VAT (flat rate)
Fine staking out: €675 plus VAT (flat rate)
Building survey: €835 plus VAT (according to the administrative fee regulation)

plus the costs from the surveying authority of about €130

In total, this will be around €2,200 including VAT.

so long, ck

We paid about 1,400 euros for our surveyor... now the garage has been completed and it also needs to be surveyed. The order was placed with the surveyor in April 2018, and they will come to measure this afternoon.

The costs are calculated based on the building value and amount to 500.00 euros (for buildings valued up to 50,000 euros).

We built in Bremen in 2014 and paid a total of approximately €2800 for everything from the initial land survey, through the site staking at the start of construction, to the final survey at completion.

A quick question for clarification: Is it always necessary for a surveyor to precisely mark out the building location before construction begins? For example, if the plot is level, there is no prescribed building line or setback, and the plot is large enough so that the planned building still has plenty of clearance from the required boundary distance, would it then not matter if the building ends up being half a meter (about 1.6 feet) further to the left or right than originally planned? Or am I missing something here?

You’re right. Only someone extremely precise can handle that.
