Abbruchvorhaben

Abbruchvorhaben is the planning and documentation for the demolition of buildings or other structures, submitted to the local building authority as part of the permit process. It describes the intended project, including location, existing structures, scope (partial or total demolition), the proposed demolition method and sequence, and the site layout and timing.

The content typically covers technical and logistical aspects such as the construction of the demolition works, equipment to be used, sequence of procedures, accessibility, and site infrastructure. It also includes safety and environmental measures: a risk assessment, a site safety plan, measures to control dust and vibration, noise mitigation, working hours, traffic management, and protection of neighboring properties. The plan must address hazardous substances (for example asbestos) and comply with relevant regulations, including TRGS guidelines and the Gefahrstoffverordnung. Waste handling is another key component, detailing sorting, recycling or disposal of construction and demolition waste in line with the KrWG and local rules, with appropriate documentation.

Regulatory context and process: In Germany, an Abbruchvorhaben is usually regulated under the Baugesetzbuch (BauGB) and state building codes (BauO) and requires approval from the municipal Bauaufsichtsamt. Depending on the project, partial deconstruction, decommissioning, or integration into a larger building project (Bauantrag/Bauanlage) may influence permitting requirements. After submission, authorities review the plan for feasibility, safety, and compliance, potentially requesting amendments.

Execution follows with a licensed demolition contractor under applicable safety and environmental regulations, with ongoing supervision and adherence to legal deadlines and permits. It may also involve coordination with other authorities for environmental protection and waste management.
