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.

1.5 air changes per hour are required for a house with mechanical ventilation...
The lower the n50 value, the better.
So this is sufficient (but it’s not ideal).
At 1.3, there would need to be significant openings allowing air to enter.
I would have expected better for such an “expensive” house :-/
But the general contractor only has to make improvements until the value is just slightly below the limit.
For comparison:
- For a Passive House, a value below 0.6 would be necessary.
- Our house (mainly self-built with trades coordinated by an architect) had a value of 0.7.

And was there really nothing more that could be done to improve the insulation further?
Where were the main spots where drafts occurred? The vapor barrier or even the electrical installations?
It’s really frustrating that the KfW value is so high because at 1.5, well... it’s like getting a D grade in college.

Anything between 0 and 1 is good. Above 1 is not acceptable. Above 1.5 is definitely not okay.
A value of 1.3 after leak repair measures would rate as a grade D to F. You can’t be satisfied with that.
But the general contractor has met their requirements. Still, it shows what kind of poor work they do.

I work for a large interior finishing company, and every new project manager is immediately taught that work can only begin once the house is weather-tight!
