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.

Does not read well. I find 3mm (0.12 inches) to be very coarse—is that the standard? Is reinforcement included? It should be. And the paint requires at least two coats, also something against algae; otherwise, you’ll be repainting the west-facing facade in just three years...

Fortunately, my expert is also present; so this can surely be resolved quickly.

However, they also said they could not guarantee it would be watertight and that I would have to sign a document acknowledging this. I don’t understand why I should sign something if the work is done according to DIN standards.
Currently, it has been executed as is.
The expert says they cannot officially approve leaving the work in its current state. I specifically asked how they would handle it if it were their own house and they were in my position. They replied that, in the interest of the construction process, keeping the non-DIN-compliant execution could be considered if I receive a 15-year warranty, which would be possible.
Now I’m completely unsure what to do.
Regarding the windows, as expected, the expert did not want to comment much. They said the current threshold height from the raw floor level to the patio doors, which is about 36–38cm (14–15 inches), will in fact be reduced to 15cm (6 inches) after installing the screed and flooring system. This is due to tolerances in the structural shell, the screed, and a so-called “meter crack” (?) that the tradespeople use as a reference.
I had always assumed 16cm (6.3 inches) of screed plus maybe 1–1.5cm (0.4–0.6 inches) of parquet flooring, and that would be it.
The expert believes these are just defensive statements and can’t imagine the threshold really being as low as 15cm (6 inches).
I also asked the expert again today about the plaster. They said a higher-quality plaster finish is only recommended if used together with an external thermal insulation composite system (ETICS). In my case, the standard finish is sufficient.

I don’t think it complies better with the DIN standard to excavate it again. I won’t explain the threshold again; it will be more than 15 cm (6 inches) from the inside, especially regarding the effective floor lifting height.

Then he is lying. Because it is agreed—and there is consensus—that the threshold will be 15cm (6 inches) high from the inside! This was also confirmed again today in front of witnesses!
