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.

They also found construction debris, roots, and concrete remains in the excavation pit. Some of this must be disposed of as Z2 waste, which is causing significant additional costs. Unfortunately, this could not be seen at the end of the demolition work, as it appears that something was dug over it.
It will certainly be difficult to prove this.

Even with new construction, you are not immune to surprises. That is why it is recommended, among other things, to include a contingency reserve for unexpected costs and not to spend every last dollar.

Try not to always look for someone to blame intentionally! I see it differently. If I hire a demolition company to demolish and dispose of something, they can’t leave half of it standing and bury the waste directly on the property. That person should be punished for fraud.Well, I wouldn’t see it that simply here. I don’t know the background, but two scenarios come to mind:
1. The original poster (OP) bought the plot after the demolition, in which case I would feel misled and contact the seller.
2. The OP commissioned the demolition themselves, in which case I would feel misled and contact the demolition company right away.
It’s understandable that the OP wants to find someone responsible. Having financial reserves for unexpected costs is another matter and isn’t directly related to this issue, even if the additional expenses were mentioned.
