Northwest Mecklenburg Building Authority under pressure: Who is responsible?
The Northwest Mecklenburg Building Authority is currently at the center of a critical issue that affects the specialist service management. As the Baltic Sea newspaper reported, the former specialist service manager was dismissed without notice. The reason for this are discrepancies in the approval process, especially in an upscale project in Bad Kleinen, which is causing a stir. There are different opinions about the responsibility of the former director; While some see them as “pawn sacrifices”, others are convinced of “leadership failure”.
The acting head, Katrin Patynowski, has taken responsibility and is trying to portray the authority in a positive light. According to her, the authority is acting constructively and the negative reporting does not reflect the work of the highly qualified and committed employees. “We offer discussions to potential developers to speed up the approval processes,” says Patynowski.
Approval processes under pressure
But not everyone is satisfied with the work of the building authority. Critics accuse the authority of often submitting requests shortly before deadlines, which leads to unnecessary delays. Engineers and planning offices do not want to speak out for fear of reprisals, but they express their dissatisfaction. According to Patynowski, transparency is important in the authority's decisions.
Interestingly, in the construction industry, the average processing time for a building application is around four months, while complicated procedures can take longer. Municipalities have two months to give their consent to construction projects. The pressure to meet these deadlines could cause additional tension in the relationship between building owners and the building authority.
Challenges in construction projects
The building authority is now insisting on appointing a new construction manager, a process that is proving difficult because the building owners no longer want to have anything to do with their former construction manager. There are questions about the legality of the building authority's demands, particularly about whether the plasterer can act as a specialist construction manager and what this means for the rest of the project.
Termination regulations and legal issues
This raises the question of how legally sound terminations are that are issued by the construction management or by the construction management to the client. According to an article on Termination letter Contracts based on the Civil Code must be observed. It is important to know that termination without notice without good cause can be invalid and both parties are obliged to determine the level of performance.
In this tense situation, many questions remain unanswered. The developers in northwest Mecklenburg have to wait and hope that the desired solution will be implemented as quickly as possible in order to get their projects back on the right track.
