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.

Why is the garage left without drainage? In the other thread, you posted pictures that don’t look very good. The entire plaster must be damaged, right?I don’t know. The site manager is on vacation, and the deputy site manager also asked how the drainage was planned.

Our exterior plaster is still to be done, but I don’t think they will remove the gutters again for that, otherwise, they could have just left them off to begin with....A gutter is not the same as a downpipe. The gutter is suspended and does not have to be removed. However, the exterior plaster can’t be applied if the downpipe is installed. After my last complaint about water ingress, they attached a hose to the outlet of the gutter. But that hose disappeared again, and water is seeping through. That can’t be good for the plaster if it’s soaking in like that.

Do you mean the drainage for the garage?As I understood it, it was generally about drainage pipes. So I assume also for the house. But I can’t say for sure. In any case, it would have been pretty serious if the concrete slab had already been poured.

But the exterior plastering apparently can't be done once the downpipe is installed. This is the first time I've heard that.
Is it common practice to remove downpipes during exterior plastering?!
That seems like double the work.
Especially with a general contractor, I would expect them to work and plan "hand-in-hand."
