Explained from A to Z
Your garden dreams take clear shape in the construction project. In this step, we create detailed project plans that take all technical aspects into account — from the structures and heights to terrain sections that show the garden in the context of its surroundings. This creates a precise basis on which the realisation of your project can proceed smoothly.
In addition to the materialisation, we also develop a planting concept that includes the selection of trees, shrubs and perennials. In doing so, we ensure a harmonious combination that gives your garden structure and character.
The elaborated construction project includes all the necessary plans required for a planning application. We take over the negotiations with the authorities to ensure that all legal requirements are met.
With a clear and comprehensive construction project, we create the basis for a realisation that brings your garden to life down to the last detail.
When is a building permit required?
As a general rule, a building permit is required if the appearance of the property changes significantly. This can include privacy walls, various enclosures, walls, pergolas, pools or tool sheds. Planning permission is also required if a garden or individual trees are listed. Authorisation may also be required for changes to the terrain. The details can be found in the building law of the respective canton.
How long does an authorisation procedure take?
There are two different procedures here. Which procedure is followed is decided by the municipality.
For smaller projects, the Simplified procedures. The authorisation period is approximately one month. The signatures of the neighbourhood are required.
At the ordinary procedure the project is publicised. No signatures from the neighbourhood are required. The duration varies between one and six months, depending on the municipality and the conditions.
In some cases, it may take longer, especially if objections from neighbours or additional expert opinions are required.
How does a building permit work?
The concept is sent to the building authorities in advance in order to clarify the framework conditions and the construction process.
We then prepare all the documents and send them to the client for signature. We inform the client about the status or take care of it if something needs to be submitted later.
After planning permission has been granted, it is possible that minor conditions may need to be submitted subsequently. The building permit is then issued and nothing stands in the way of realising the garden design.
Construction project and dealing with the neighbourhood
We recommend early communication. A discussion with the neighbourhood is always very helpful so that they are involved in the process. This can prevent possible objections and ensures an open dialogue.
