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 are the unfortunate victim. The general contractor takes your money, lies to you, botches the job, and you do nothing.I always find such general comments very valuable.
Then please explain how, if not even a chamber of commerce certified expert has the perfect solution at hand.
Where was your IHK afternoon course expert before and before the windows were installed? You yourself say you have no idea—why don’t you have more construction phases inspected? Why are leaks found and just somehow patched up?
Why is your general contractor lying to you about the roof being watertight?
Why is your general contractor lying to you about the roof being watertight? Why doesn’t your IHK expert say anything about this?
Your house is flooding, and you are just setting up dryers. Who is paying for the construction electricity?
And much more.

I’m starting to understand why our expert can assert himself so well without letters and formalities, and why he is respected by both tradespeople and homeowners. He was so confident in every aspect and able to communicate on equal terms with everyone, immediately identifying the solutions.
There’s no need to overthink it. Windows must be sealed in a specific way. A building material is missing or applied incorrectly. The vapor barrier is the same issue.
Don’t let anyone intimidate you and stop beating around the bush. Whether well-founded or not, sometimes you have to put your foot down.

He’s also confident, but he can’t force anyone to do the work. He was recommended to me here on the forum, and the other builder is getting along great with him – apparently, he was able to get everything enforced there. Our general contractor is completely uncooperative, but that’s not something the expert can control.

Even with the patio door windows: the expert and lawyer showed us we’re right. They had a different opinion. The lawyer says we can enforce it, but then they’ll probably stop work – who knows for how long. Being right, proving it, and actually enforcing it are different things.

I understand the frustration. You have no real leverage. What exactly can you do? Other than complain and hire an expert.Well, make a fuss! *G*
There are standards and manufacturers’ installation instructions.
Either you follow them or you don’t.
If you don’t, corrections must be made.
Our builder gave very clear instructions. No maybes, what-ifs, or “I don’t knows.”
What happens in the event of a construction halt?
Who doesn’t get paid but still has to cover wages and suppliers?
