Durchbaubarkeit

Durchbaubarkeit, in planning and engineering contexts, describes the feasibility of realizing a project at a given site under current regulatory, technical, financial, and logistical conditions. It examines how well the project aligns with local zoning and building codes, whether utilities and infrastructure are accessible, and how geotechnical, environmental, and market conditions affect construction. A high degree of Durchbaubarkeit indicates that a project can be built with reasonable effort, risk, cost, and schedule, and with clear governance and permitting prospects.

Assessments typically combine preliminary site investigations, planning reviews, feasibility studies, and risk and cost-benefit analyses. Central factors are regulatory approvals and land-use rights, building density and height limits, structural feasibility, access to roads and utilities, constructability of the design, and viable construction methods and procurement options. Financing conditions, risk allocation, and potential delays from environmental or social impact procedures also influence outcomes.

In practice, Durchbaubarkeit guides decisions by developers, architects, engineers and authorities on whether to proceed, modify the plan, or terminate a project. It shapes budgets, timelines, and permit strategies, and is distinct from actual construction and implementation.

Limitations include reliance on early data and assumptions that may change with new information or policy shifts. Therefore, Durchbaubarkeit is a dynamic, iterative aspect of project planning rather than a single verdict.
