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.

you chose the budget general contractor option. You pick a small-time expert and predictably end up with problems. I don’t necessarily see a general contractor as a budget option. And as a non-expert, I can’t judge whether an expert is good or bad after just one initial conversation. At the beginning, there isn’t much more to do than to read forums like this one and research experiences with construction companies (which can be biased because negative reviews may have been legally suppressed). Therefore, I wonder how something like this could be considered predictable in this case. Overall, building the first house involves a steep learning curve. With that knowledge, one can certainly make far fewer mistakes when building a second house: “Try – Fail – Try again – Fail better!”R
R.Hotzenplotz29 Jun 2018 23:37Today, the piping was reportedly changed again. I had complained that it should not be accepted like this and that no changes to the execution plan should be approved. Strangely, it now seems possible after all to route the installation through the ceiling and let it disappear into the sand-lime brick wall.
I’m curious to see. I’ll be there again tomorrow midday to take a look.

"Try - Fail - Try again - Fail better!" That’s why they say the first house is built for an enemy, the second for a friend, and only the third for yourself.

I once got taken in by a supposedly great expert... when you google him, he appears at the top on all websites...
The website looks extremely professional...
Unfortunately, the guy is somewhere on the Cayman Islands and only comes here a few times a year to inspect houses, scam people, and then enjoy a few nice months abroad again.
I couldn’t even take action against it— all my comments on review sites were deleted...

R.Hotzenplotz30 Jun 2018 14:44I was just at the construction site. They have now made a hole in the sand-lime brick wall, but the pipe has not yet been installed. So far, the hole is only in the sand-lime brick wall and not in the precast concrete slab, where it would also need to go through in order to route the pipe within the ceiling. I hope they just lacked the proper tools to drill into the concrete and that everything will be completed next week.
I met with the drywall installer today. He told me it is completely normal to have even more pipes running through the rooms at times. He sees this in nearly every project, and he has been working for them for two years.
He also said that, from his perspective, the general contractor is very good and that he has worked with noticeably worse ones before. I tend to believe him.
