What our customers say

frequently asked Questions

You will usually need the building permit application form, a site plan, construction drawings (floor plans, sections, views) and a building description. Depending on the project, additional documents may be required. An architect can provide a site plan and additional documents. If floor plans, sections or views are missing, our surveying service happy to create it.

The processing time for a building application can vary. You will usually receive the completed documents within 1-2 weeks. The review of your building application by the responsible building authority varies depending on the project. For larger or more complex building projects, the processing time can take several months. The completeness and quality of the submitted documents influence the duration.

If a building application is rejected, the applicant receives a written explanation of the rejection. They then have the option of revising the application and resubmitting it or appealing against the rejection notice. The appeal must be submitted within a certain period of time (usually one month). Alternatively, if the appeal is unsuccessful, an appeal can be considered before the administrative court.

For safety reasons, we recommend our preliminary checkso that you have clarity from the outset and know whether you have a good chance of getting approval for your project.
