Hello everyone!
As some users have requested before, Iâm now starting a new thread with the current planning of our detached house, which is about to be finalized.
These are the preliminary drawings for the building permit / planning permission application, and I have one last chance to review them and point out any issues.
It still seems to me that there is less than 1.20m (4 feet) of space between the two wardrobes in the dressing room. Or am I seeing this wrong? Apparently, the rooms on the left and right were overlooked and not adjusted accordingly.
Two Velux ceiling spotlights are still planned to illuminate the upper floor hallway.
In the basement, on the right side in the upper room, a window similar to the one on the left basement side is an option.
We still havenât decided on the T30 fire-rated door to the garage, even though it is shown in the plans. Most likely, for safety reasons and the limited use of the kitchen at the other end of the house, we will eventually forgo it.
User 11ant pointed out that the right window in childâs room 2 is suboptimally positioned. However, this could still be changed after submitting the building permit / planning permission application. Our architect thinks moving the window to the left would negatively affect the houseâs exterior appearance. Weâll have to see about that.

But hey, maybe reaching 1,000 posts about a house before the building permit / planning permission is submitted is possible. No, that was a joke. I actually like the idea of finally getting things moving.

Sounds almost like youâre moving in. Well, if I start billing my complaining under the HOAI, itâs almost my house *LOL*

I wonder, are you planning the house yourself? Or will it be the one from Hotzenplotz? The-that-is-the-house-from-Ni-ko-plotz is a thread Iâm especially happy to take part in. On one hand, itâs about a house that is still quite âout of reachâ in terms of my style, and on the other, suggestions here find more fertile ground than, for example, in the case of the designer box in Pforzheim or in Schustrikâs symmetry maze. Weâve also made a lot more progress here regarding the five childrenâs bedrooms, though with noticeably less input from me.
My âfavorite thread of the heartâ remains the one by @saar2and â that impresses me the most (and except for the crawl space, which ultimately did startle me a bit, I could even have imagined making the existing building worthwhile and attractive there).

R.Hotzenplotz8 Oct 2017 08:52The current obstacle for the building permit / planning permission application is the missing site plan, which needs to be prepared by the surveyor. After that, we can get started.
I will have the existing construction contract reviewed by an expert through the Association of Private Homeowners and get advice on any sensible changes.

The obstacle for the building permit / planning permission application is currently the missing site plan, which needs to be created by a surveyor. After that, work can begin. That surprises me a bit â considering the plot was recently already developed. They wouldnât have just placed the existing building randomly on the field, would they?

I assume they didnât just place the existing building randomly on the field, right?Iâm not familiar with the regulations regarding what needs to be prepared for a building application / permit. In any case, itâs apparently currently held up because of the surveyor.

R.Hotzenplotz10 Oct 2017 17:46I visited the building consultant today. He is reviewing the construction contract thoroughly and will provide feedback at the beginning of the week.
Regarding the building permit / planning permission, he recommended questioning the following points:
1) How is the partial basement structurally handled, considering that in some areas there is no natural soil?
2) The rainwater drainage seems somewhat insufficient.
3) The garage and the house appear to be at different levels. Does the house need to be entered through the T30 fire door with a step? That would be a deal-breaker for the door.
4) The emergency escape route to the rooftop terrace seems questionable because it is not accessible for the fire department.
5) According to the building consultant, the desired boundary wall on the right side of the house should be included in the building permit / planning permission application, contrary to what the architect stated.
6) A drainage channel should be installed in front of the garage, extending up to the red line indicated in the drainage plan.
7) The shaft in front of the basement window is drawn too large for what is supposed to be a simple basement window. Contrary to the construction contract, a basement window opposite the specified facade window is sufficient here.
Otherwise, he finds the overall plan very coherent.
He would also choose the window planning as posted in #54.
