The concern

The ad sounds good, but is the plot of land actually buildable?

What we did

Building regulations, extract from the Austrian Federal Building Code (ÖREB), permissible number of stories, economic efficiency.

What was the goal?

Make a decision with your eyes open, and create a list for the next acquisition.

What was the initial situation?

Advertisements often paint a rosier picture than reality. The investor had already made initial calculations regarding the development potential of the property, but building regulations, infrastructure, and permitted building heights were based on unverified assumptions. A thorough examination is advisable before making a purchase decision.

They not only categorized this property for me, but also recalibrated the search radius.

Investor, Limmattal region

What have we accomplished?

I thoroughly examined the property: building regulations, zoning plan, extract from the land register, noise protection, water protection, permissible number of stories, and economically viable building structures. Everything was meticulously documented and translated into a clear purchase recommendation.

What was the result?

The investor made his decision with his eyes open. He also gained insights from the conversation into which locations and property types would be better suited for his next acquisition.
