Hi everyone,
I’ve just started a list of things I don’t want to forget during the house-building process.
It’s more about the small details. I thought maybe you could help expand the list for me and future builders?
It would be great to keep adding to it, while keeping debates like “you don’t really need that” to a minimum 🙂
Then people can simply go through the “list” here and think for themselves, “I need that too” or “that’s nonsense” 🙂
I’ll just start:
1. Outdoor water tap
2. Motion sensor lights (hallways, pantry)
3. (Passive) stair lighting (downward-facing spotlights)
4. Prepare conduits for photovoltaic system
5. Heavy-duty power supply in garage
6. Switched power outlets in garden
7. Provision for camera at front door
8. LAN connections (3x living room, 2x office, 1x per child’s room, 1x bedroom)
9. Window seat bench
10. Door in garage (from outside, not connected to the house)
Hope you have some more good ideas 🙂
Regards

High-voltage powerHigh-voltage power is definitely not a personal customization preference but should be installed at least once in every house.
What I always pre-install are empty conduits and junction boxes for future wall lamps or anything else you might think of. Just embed them in the plaster during construction.

hampshire30 Apr 2019 15:32For your checklist:
Placement of trash bins
Which electrical outlet should be switchable
Electrical outlets / LAN in floor box (e.g., under sofa)
Type of flooring (relevant for screed heights)
Rainwater supply line for cistern
Intercom system
Consider system for utilities (heating, energy, electricity, network...)
Plan special rooms (wine cellar, rehearsal room, home cinema, air raid shelter, pottery studio, woodworking, model railway, art archive, cold storage...)

Addendum:
Conduit at the location of the TV to hide cables from the outlets below to the wall-mounted TV.
Hidden media box and outlet in the center of the living room ceiling for a possible projector. (we forgot this)
And, seen at the neighbor’s: outdoor LAN outlet on the terrace for home office with a work laptop that is not allowed on the Wi-Fi because the employer has a security obsession...

After last summer, as of today I would definitely plan to install a fixed air conditioning system for the bedrooms.
One thing you should never forget is those annoying minor details like the outdoor areas.
Fencing, topsoil, planting, paving work
they
1. cost a lot of money
2. take a lot of time
3. create a lot of mess if they are not planned from the beginning

Because I also had a few uncomfortable nights, even with the bedroom facing north.
