Show start of construction for a project requiring a building permit or a project exempt from a building permit

As the building owner, you must notify the lower building supervisory authority in text form at least one week in advance of when you wish to start your building project that requires a permit or is exempt from approval.

The same applies if you resume construction after an interruption of more than three months.

If your building project is not subject to a procedure, i.e. does not require a building permit or exemption from approval, this notification is not necessary.

Requirements

In accordance with Section 72 (5) of the Bremen Building Code, you may not start work on your building project requiring a permit or exemption from a permit until the following conditions are met

1. you have received the (partial) building permit or a permit exemption,

2. the submitted structural engineering evidence has been checked in accordance with Section 66 and the public law approval decisions specified in the building permit have been issued, and

3. the construction start notification from the building supervisory authority is available.

In addition, in accordance with Section 72 (6) of the Bremen State Building Code, the floor plan of a building must be staked out and its height determined before construction can begin.

Building permits and construction documents, including structural engineering proofs, must be available at the construction site from the start of construction.
