ᐅ Tips Before Starting Construction – What to Watch Out For?

Hello everyone,

First of all: I’m not sure if there is already a thread like this, but nevertheless, I would find it very interesting to gather opinions, ideas, tips, tricks, etc., shortly before or during the construction phase, in order to avoid possible “sources of errors” that some homeowners made out of lack of knowledge.

These should mostly be “small details” that can be relatively easily changed or adjusted and don’t disrupt the entire plan.

We are not talking about:
--> I wouldn’t build a basement anymore
--> I would definitely get a garage in the future

But rather things like:
--> Make sure to install a conduit for the photovoltaic system
--> Wire your front door electrically to allow for technical upgrades later on
--> Install enough power outlets at certain spots to...
--> Have a water connection installed for an additional shower to create more options later

They can really be small things that bothered you afterward, that you would have done differently, but no longer have the chance to change, or that caused additional costs later on.
Topics related to kitchen, bathroom, or similar are also welcome.

We want to think of as many things as possible (which is of course nearly impossible and always depends on individual circumstances) — but surely some tips could still be helpful.

Looking forward to your input 🙂
