Two visits, two purposes
Rough setting out, before the dig: we mark the position of the excavation so the groundworker knows where and how deep. Pegs and level marks are enough for that.
Fine setting out, after the dig: we transfer the building corners to the profile boards to the millimetre. The bricklayer or the prefab team builds from those points.
Both in one visit rarely works: the points set beforehand disappear with the excavation.
What we need for it
- Approved site plan with the building authority's stamp. Nobody sets out responsibly without it – if the setting out follows an unapproved version and the permit differs, the house stands in the wrong place.
- Ground floor plan with dimension lines from which the outer edges follow unambiguously.
- Planned start of construction and the contact for site management or groundworks.
- Access to the plot: is the area cleared, are trees or fences in the way?
What it costs
A serious figure can only be given once we have seen the documents – the effort depends on the size of the plot, its accessibility, the number of building corners and whether control points are nearby. A detached house on level ground is a different matter from a hall on a slope.
For setting out we work with fixed prices: you know the cost beforehand. After your enquiry you receive a range in writing, without obligation.
What you still need afterwards
After completion the building has to be recorded in the land cadastre in Hesse. This building survey is a sovereign task and is handled by a publicly appointed surveyor or the state land management office – not by us. We will remind you in good time that it is due.
