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.

R.Hotzenplotz22 Apr 2018 16:20Next Friday, there is a major coordination meeting (structural work review) with the rough-in plumber, the finish plumber, the electrician, and the project construction manager.
During this meeting, decisions will be made about, for example, the mounting height of the toilets – they say that extensive preparation is not necessary; everything will be discussed on site. However, I think it might be done rather quickly since all parties involved, except for us, are accustomed to this as routine. I was wondering if it would make sense to prepare a checklist with specific requirements in advance for such a meeting. What do you think?
What else is important to cover in a meeting like this besides toilet heights and faucet placements? For example, in the bathrooms, they also want to review exactly how the drywall partitions should be constructed.

R.Hotzenplotz14 May 2018 23:38A plate load test was carried out where the garage will be located. The results were poor. The groundworker admitted that the compaction there was inadequate (so apparently not as billed). Now he will probably have to remove all that material and refill it. This is planned to happen tomorrow.
In the meantime, completion of the upper floor continues to be delayed. The carpenter is scheduled to install the roof structure on the 22nd.

The earthworker admitted to poor compaction there (so apparently not as he charged for). Oh, and that only comes to light when you ask why the garage on the ground floor isn’t built yet?

Oh, and this is what you get when you ask why the garage on the ground floor isn’t there yet?I also find all of this a bit strange. The general contractor (GC) also seems far from satisfied with the shell builder. I get the impression that the work is currently being done just day by day without a clear plan. I’m no longer being given any medium-term deadlines. Two weeks ago, there was supposed to be a meeting with the plumbing and electrical teams to discuss the shell construction in its finished state. But there was no Poroton (clay block) delivered at that time... I believe I’ve already been given four different dates for when the shell construction would be completed...
What I find strangest is that, although no medium-term deadlines are given, the construction manager says that the final deadline in early October probably won’t change because they are regularly making up for the lost time from the shell construction during the interior finishing work.
