What is checked

The application's claims are set against the commune's binding provisions, claim by claim.

  • Boundary setbacks and building separation distances
  • Heights: building, façade and total height, as the commune defines them
  • Utilisation ratios: floor-area, gross-floor-area, building-mass and site-coverage ratios
  • The precedence of a special land-use plan over the base regulation is resolved and stated
  • Every claim with its article and the page of the source; what comes from cantonal geodata rather than an enactment carries a ~

What you receive

A written check within two working days of receiving the documents. Every finding traces back to the article it rests on — and where a provision is not unambiguous, the check says so instead of smoothing it over.

Who it serves

  • Construction-law firms: a documented counter-check of the measures before an application, objection or appeal builds on them.
  • Technical due-diligence advisors: a project's planning-law conformity, documented article by article.
  • Developers and architecture firms: your own application figures checked against the commune's provisions before filing.
  • Portfolio and asset managers: a documented check per project when an extension or replacement build is due.

What the check never contains

  • No valuation and no price estimate.
  • No legal advice: the check is information, not legal advice.
  • No assessment of natural hazards.
  • No assessment of heritage or townscape protection.

How to read the result

Every measure checked carries its result in words; colour is only a reading aid. What cannot be checked is listed under “Open points”.

compliant

The application meets the rule's measure.

short of the rule

The application misses the rule's measure; the difference is stated.

with reservation

Met subject to a condition the check names.

~ = modelled from cantonal geodata, not official

Application = figure taken from the application, copied from the plans, not re-measured

Sample check

A complete check of a fictitious example project in Uster (parcel C3486): 15 measures checked, one deviation found on a boundary setback, every finding with its article and reference — this is what delivery looks like.
