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.

Push everything to Monday. When in doubt, ask the new expert.Exactly. That’s how I see it too.

With us, this was the responsibility of the main contractor/site manager.Was the main contractor the contractual partner of the utility company there? Legally speaking, the main contractor cannot commission corrections since they are not the contractual partner of the supplier.

Who is requesting the change? – If I understand correctly, it’s the heating installer:Apparently it comes from the heating installer, but the main contractor is the one instructing me.

But they wouldn’t have been able to install the originally planned equipment either, because the energy connection is located on the wall. Whether enclosed in a box or not, it is basically marked there – it must be expected that it will be housed in a box; and the box as a housing has nothing to do with the fact that this connection must remain accessible. You can’t just place the heating unit in front of it as shown.However, the house connections are marked at the top of the plan, not on the right side. The house connection box was installed on the right side though.
No, we had commissioned the utility provider to obtain documents from the general contractor (GC).
It’s not our problem if the water meter is installed in the location where the utility company has to connect the house supply.
The GC prepares the plans. The GC should have given you revised plans with a note to forward them.
The GC is responsible for site management, and just because they are not allowed to contract directly with the municipal utility, telecom, and cable companies doesn’t mean it’s not their responsibility.
Either the plan is wrong = GC’s fault
Or the utility provider did not follow the plan = utility provider’s fault
Why can’t the heating installer work somewhere else?

On the plan, there is a red line connecting the square and the circle representing the heat pump. Where it says "house connections," a gas-yellow marked conduit ends; as an electrician, I would not consider a gas-yellow marking applicable for myself.
Although the red here indicates wastewater, without the plan dated January 5 (my insider knowledge shared privately), the energy supplier cannot just imagine this.
The general contractor (GC) is responsible for providing you with the correct plan to pass on. The GC should cover the minor costs for their mistake and have the box relocated if they are unable to mark its exact location properly.
A GC working in an area served by multiple energy providers must communicate with the different regional utility departments to understand their specific requirements and standard practices. They will usually inform him: we are happy to provide red temporary power metal boxes placed on the floor; we do not like the black ones in the small Allibert-style format mounted on the wall.

He is taking advantage of your old expert’s inability and your uncertainty.
He puts pressure on you because of his mistake. Take a deep breathI have felt this way for pages now @R.Hotzenplotz please firmly stand your ground—you are paying, and somehow you are only living with compromises.
