Reason for creating an official site plan

Work steps

Depending on the purpose of the application, planned and existing construction sites, planned boundaries, planned construction projects and other information relevant to planning are incorporated into the official site plan.

Other documents required for the creation of the official Site plan, such as information on existing building encumbrances, encumbrances entered in the land register or relevant statutes and their specifications are requested from the commissioned surveying agency.

It should be pointed out that digital data relating to the borders were partly created by digitization. Even if a high degree of accuracy can be accessed and suggested with this data, this data is partly based on older map series that have only been digitized.
