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.

Please send him our warmest regards from the “hard core” of the forum. We hope everything goes as smoothly as possible and that he and his small family can soon move into a nice, finished house.
He is being fully challenged and needs to make the best of the situation. Endurance, strength, oversight, and coordination can really take a toll over time.
Tell him we’ll be happy to see a selfie of him with his completed house here – we’re patient and keeping our fingers crossed.
We’ll keep his thread active for him in the meantime.
P.S. I’m looking forward to finally seeing his purple couch in his living room with the ambient lighting around it.

Oh man – you really get the impression that with construction, everything either goes smoothly or it goes completely wrong. There doesn’t seem to be a middle ground.
And once again, you see that paper or websites are patient. The construction company’s website is actually quite appealing, especially in terms of transparency about their work.

It makes you wonder where exactly the problem lies. Because a crooked staircase with uneven steps wouldn’t be in the plans. So who still builds something like that, and more importantly: why?
Has the general contractor run out of good subcontractors, and did the replacements fail miserably?
P.S.: @Traumfaenger it’s nice to hear something firsthand, especially that he’s doing alright despite everything.

Of course, a big "keep your chin up, powerhouse" from my side as well!
I think the contractor just had bad luck; the site manager was sick often and for a long time, had to be replaced, and so on. These are fundamentally poor conditions, and the sum of many small problems always ends up being a big issue. But something like that with the staircase shouldn’t even happen to an apprentice!
