ᐅ Floor plan design shortly before submitting the building permit application

Hello everyone!
As some users have requested before, I’m 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 haven’t 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 child’s 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 house’s exterior appearance. We’ll have to see about that.

Visually, from the inside it looks as if the spotlight is just hitting the ceiling.
A very good suggestion; thank you very much!

Visually, it appears from the inside as if the spotlight is shining directly onto the ceiling. It will probably be like that either way. With the change, the timing of the maximum "midday" brightness will of course shift accordingly.

To clarify once more:
How are you supposed to save €600 per cubic meter when the average construction costs are about €350 to €400 per cubic meter?
There’s definitely something wrong here.This was about reducing the volume by 41 cubic meters by lowering the wall heights.
I now have the result. Neither €600/m³ nor €350/m³ was saved, but just under €50 per cubic meter (about $54 per cubic yard). The total savings amount to €2,039 (about $2,194). I’m actually surprised that the savings are that modest. That’s only a tenth of the unrealistic figure given by the construction consultant. You get similarly conflicting statements from “experts” when it comes to heating systems.

One tenth of the building consultant’s unrealistic estimate. Maybe he’s using a crystal ball?

R.Hotzenplotz16 Jan 2018 16:36Our house construction contract includes basement walls as reinforced concrete double walls with a thickness of 30cm (12 inches) using waterproof concrete.
Our building partner requests that, contrary to this description, no precast elements be used, but rather that formwork is done on site. This would save time and the excavation would not have to remain open for long after the earthworks, especially in bad weather.
Is it safe to proceed this way? I was told this would have no impact on the perimeter insulation.

I find a fully cast-in-place concrete structure, meaning seamless, very appealing. I have no concerns regarding this approach.
