Hello everyone,
Until now, I have only been a silent reader, but things are getting serious.
So, my first question is how you would assess the following offer for surveying services.
Item 1: Site and elevation plan
Item 2: Site plan for the building permit / planning permission
Item 3: Setting out / staking out
Item 4: Building survey after completion
Total price: €1,700 gross
We are building an urban villa with an attached garage/office extension – approximately 200 m² (2,150 sq ft) of living and usable space, near Dresden.
Thanks and best regards,
Martin

Then the architect submitting the building permit application can deal with it.
What annoys me is when I base my planning on aspects I thought I understood, and then such nonsense comes out. When I read in the purchase contract that the municipality is responsible for surveying the plot, but they still don’t do it because it’s only supposed to be for marketing after completion, it frustrates me.
So now I have to arrange for the commissioning of
- the topographic survey of the building plot,
- the rough staking out,
- and the final staking out.
Just great :-(

because it is supposed to be only the marketing after completion It is not just that. It also involves the formation of the land parcel. As you mentioned, there are still two large parcels. The surveying includes not only the local measurement work but also the complete calculation of coordinates, including their registration in the cadastre. If you want to build on a private part that still needs to be surveyed, often the buyer has to cover the surveying costs. However, your contract clearly states that you have nothing to do with the formation of the land parcel. It is also clear that the municipality has nothing to do with your construction project. These costs also depend on what you plan to build.

That means I now have to ... take care of it Ask your architect. Maybe they will handle this for you (watch out for the fine print in the service contract). And I cannot say from here what requirements the building authority has for the construction documents. Perhaps it is sufficient if the architect includes your house with setback areas in the development plan excerpt and attaches the subdivision plan from the notary contract.
