Detailed description
Before submitting a building application, a preliminary building inquiry can be used to request information in advance on questions that would otherwise have to be clarified in the later building permit procedure.
A preliminary planning application (application for a preliminary decision) can be useful if it is unclear whether a plot of land can be built on at all according to the applicable building planning law. A preliminary building inquiry can save financial expenses, as not all the documents required for a building permit are necessary. In addition, the builder receives certainty about the buildability of a plot of land at an early stage.
