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.

Just switch the desk and the wall unit – it’s easier to incorporate the pipe into the wall unit, and it won’t stand out, for example, as a CD shelf or something.I didn’t want to have the door behind my back when sitting at the desk! Besides, all the electrical wiring is already installed. That would all need to be redone.

Why couldn’t such a pipe be planned inside the wall???I have now asked this question in writing, stating clearly that this cannot be left as is.
I have never seen anything like this before, with all these boxed-in sections in the rooms, sometimes only at the top, like in the office at the bottom left of the plan.
Put some shelves on the wall and move the desk forward. Who knows what the boxed-in area is for.
Okay, it’s annoying, but you always have a Plan B, which, because it’s improvised, doesn’t fall into the category of “everything planned, everything perfect, and therefore boring.”
I also wouldn’t like having the door right behind me!

Traumfaenger21 Jun 2018 23:58Sorry, but for a new build designed by an architect (!!!), obviously supervised by an additional consultant and the general contractor, I would never tolerate something like this. At that point, you might as well run the heating and electrical pipes on the surface... I once had a conversation with our architect specifically about boxed-out areas, and YES, it is possible if you think about it in advance and have at least some skill in your profession as an architect...

R.Hotzenplotz22 Jun 2018 00:01This should have been addressed no later than before signing the final construction plans.
Apparently, a general contractor like this is more focused on the mass market rather than on a custom architect-designed house.

Where does it say "DD 35/14 waste pipe offset in the ceiling"? I always thought there would be a small boxed section or something at the top. No, not under, but inside the ceiling the waste pipe should be offset.

But now there is a thick pipe running from top to bottom right in the middle of the room wall. Then it was done differently than drawn.

What did you think the waste pipe running along the wall would mean? There is no waste pipe drawn running on (in front of) the wall.
truce schrieb:
Why can't such a pipe be planned within the wall??? It is planned inside the wall, which is why there is the 20 cm (8 inches) wide wall slot.
Construction workers should be able to read that!

Who knows what the boxed section is for. None was planned — this needs to be corrected and done as drawn.
R.Hotzenplotz schrieb:
Not tolerating this should have happened at the latest before signing off on the execution planning. The pipe is drawn inside the wall, so why would you have signed off on it differently?
I would have complained if a boxed section had been "through the desk." The waste pipe in front of the wall is on the cabinet side, and only there.

chand198622 Jun 2018 07:11Very interesting. I would have interpreted the "box" in the plan as a boxed-in section, but admittedly I don’t have advanced skills in reading such plans.
If you’re right (which I assume), poor Hotzenplotz will be getting some extra gray hair again :/
