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.

We have built a house for the second time, and fortunately, everything went smoothly without any major problems. The result is very nice. Well, the landscaping is still incomplete, and hopefully, everything will go well with that—no excavator crashing into the house. But we definitely do not regret building again.

Getting frustrated is part of the process. I have no idea how many times I just didn’t want to continue, but overall, I can’t really complain about the companies involved.
The many pipes and cables that don’t run inside the walls would bother me as well. I would never have thought it would be built like that. We were probably lucky with our solid wood walls and maybe also with the architect.
There have been, and still are, moments where in the end, it just came down to, “You signed off on it.” Sorry—or not—that it’s not what you wanted.
Friends of ours had the attitude, “I’m ordering a house; it’ll be fine. Why should I worry about the location of the electrical outlets? No way.” They are extremely happy with their house.
We could all benefit from having a little bit of that mindset.

Cheer up! Please don’t start hating your house now. Sure, many things haven’t gone perfectly, but it could definitely be worse. You can probably still redesign the kitchen; try asking at the kitchen showroom. They will likely have good ideas. As far as possible, I would box in the top cabinets to match the depth of wall cabinets and use the depth of base cabinets below; in front of the wall cabinets, you could add a magnetic board, for example.
You can probably make the outer wall cabinet a bit narrower, just like the base cabinet – just talk to your kitchen planner. They are definitely familiar with such challenges and can rearrange the plan.

You’re not the only one who didn’t get what you wanted... I also showed the roofer a picture of how I wanted the roof (exposed roof structure), and what I received has nothing to do with that image...
Now I can either sit down and look at it every day, feeling sad because I wanted it differently (beams too close together, wood grain different from what I expected), or I could rebuild because of something like that (never!), or I just live with it…

Dear 11ant, please drop the doomsday attitude. You can clearly see how much the robber is struggling. So why do you keep insisting on it?
I think it’s ultimately just a matter of appearance. Especially the cabinet in the kitchen can be integrated, maybe with a panel from the kitchen installer in front of it, and the corner wall cabinet can simply be 70cm (28 inches) instead of 90cm (35 inches).
Of course, none of this is perfect, but you wouldn’t sell a house just because of a visual flaw like that. How unreasonable is that?
