Building law: Diverging interests and a jungle of conditions
How your lawyers can support you
A wide variety of interests collide in every construction project. Building owners, neighbors and the state sometimes have conflicting interests that need to be balanced.
When the Spatial Planning Act came into force in the last quarter of the 20th century, there was a veritable flood of regulations. In view of the revision of the Spatial Planning Act in recent years, it can be assumed that this regulatory density – at federal, cantonal and municipal level – will continue to increase significantly in complexity in the future.
As your lawyers, we provide you with competent support in the area of conflict between regulations and diverging interests.

Procedure for problems with building law
You can reach us by telephone during office hours at
052 222 01 20
. You can reach us by e-mail at kanzlei@ff-law.ch.
In order to provide the best possible support, we require details of the essential facts. Based on the initial contact, we will examine the mandate and how we can best help you.
With regard to the suitability of the mandate, we check whether it falls within the areas of law we handle. If the amount in dispute is low, it is often not advisable to retain a lawyer. From an economic point of view, it is usually only worth consulting a lawyer if the value in dispute is several thousand francs or more.
Please note that we cannot provide legal information free of charge. Information regarding a “brief legal question” cannot be provided with the necessary diligence of a lawyer. It is always crucial that the relevant facts are presented and discussed as fully as possible. This requires sufficient time.
For new clients, we usually conduct an initial consultation (flat rate of CHF 300) in our office. Please bring copies of all relevant documents with you to the meeting.
Alternatively, we offer you an initial assessment by telephone or e-mail. Please send us all relevant documents as a scan in PDF format (no photographed image files) to
kanzlei@ff-law.ch
We will inform you of the evaluation result by e-mail or telephone after checking.
During the initial review or meeting, we will outline the opportunities and risks associated with your legal problem. We will show you the legal situation and advise you on the appropriate strategy. Sympathy and trust between client and lawyer are important for a successful client relationship. It is equally important that you like the way we work as your lawyers. You (and we) can also get an idea of this with the initial assessment.
Important: Due to the current corona crisis, we currently prefer to carry out initial assessments (by telephone or e-mail). Initial consultations can of course still be arranged at the client’s request in compliance with hygiene regulations.
In the case of a mandate, you grant us a written power of attorney for your specific legal problem. You also sign a mandate agreement in which the terms of the mandate are set out transparently. For new customers, we also require a so-called “retainer”. This is an advance payment which is not offset against the first invoice but against the last invoice at the end of the mandate. At the end of the mandate relationship, any credit balance will be refunded to you immediately.
We will keep you informed about the progress of your legal case at all times. We coordinate the procedure and strategy together with you. In doing so, we ensure efficient processing of the proceedings at all times. Costs and benefits for our clients are always the benchmark for our legal services. We usually issue invoices on a monthly basis. You always receive a detailed invoice and are thus transparently informed about the services we provide.

Support in the building permit process
Planning application & building permit
A municipal building permit is not only required for the construction of a new building or the conversion of an existing property, but also for a change of use. Under certain circumstances, cantonal permits may even be required for the realization of a building project.
As your lawyers, we provide you with expert support on the way to your dream home.
Building appeal proceedings
If the competent authority unjustifiably refuses the necessary building permit, the client has the option of taking legal action.
As your lawyers, we will show you your chances of realizing your dreams after all.

Our expertise 5G mobile antennas
A modern and efficient mobile communications infrastructure is without question a key interest of the population of our country, the state and the economy.
However, this interest often collides with equally justified individual interests. For residents and property owners in the vicinity of mobile phone antennas, questions arise in particular regarding compliance with radiation limits, health protection and loss of property value.
Particularly in connection with the introduction of 5G technology, a certain “rush mentality” on the part of the authorities can be observed, with which facts are to be created.
As your lawyers, we check building permits and compliance with radiation limits (locations with sensitive use, OMEN). We support you in building appeal proceedings by insisting on compliance with procedural regulations under building law.
