Hello,
What is the proper procedure when a house is to be demolished and a new one built on the same site? My question concerns the utility connections such as electricity, water, sewage, and telecommunications.
These connections should be reused for the new building, but I am unsure how to proceed to avoid damaging them during the demolition.
The house being demolished has a basement, but the new building is planned without a basement.
I look forward to helpful responses.
Best regards
_Michael_

We have the same situation. You need to get in touch with the utility providers.
Water: The provider told us that they no longer use the old pipes because they are too old and have too small a diameter, so they will be disconnected and need to be replaced. It was funny that the provider didn’t even know where the pipes ran and had to locate them first.
Wastewater: We installed that ourselves many years ago; we separate it outside the house to be demolished and simply reconnect with new pipes there.
Electricity: This is handled by the electrician from the construction company; I believe it’s not allowed to do this yourself. However, they only submit a relocation request, so we don’t need expensive temporary construction power and can stay with our regular electricity provider.
Telephone: Fortunately, our connection is located in the garage, which remains standing. So, it can simply stay there and then be routed back into the house.
But basically, you coordinate all of this with the construction company.

I roughly sketched it out in the attached file ...
The basement is to be completely excavated, backfilled, and compacted for the foundation slab ...I don’t see any attachment. My question was aimed at understanding what advantage the deep demolition is supposed to have or whether the basement is causing issues: even if it is too small, misplaced, or too high, deep demolition is not always the most practical solution.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

It might not be that bad in some cases. On our site, some of the old walls are still standing. Under the kitchen, there are sandstone blocks from the manure pit, and next to the driveway there's still half of the potato cellar.
Usually, the demolition company takes care of the connections. Or did we purchase a full-service package for this?

It might not be that bad after all. Some of the old walls are still standing here. Under the kitchen, the sandstone blocks from the slurry pit remain, and by the driveway, half of the potato cellar is still there.
Usually, the demolition company takes care of the utility connections. Or did we purchase an all-inclusive package for that? That would definitely be better; I’ll have to talk to the demolition company...
