We had an (independent) construction supervisor throughout the entire building process and also had the planning reviewed by an expert.

I understand the part about the construction supervisor; it should be an "Independent Expert for Construction Supervision (IHK), publicly appointed and sworn in court."

OR
Should an expert have been the one to -->review the planning<--?

Okay, let me explain further!
Our planning (such as floor plans, submission plans, etc.) was done by the general contractor. Unfortunately, it was quite “poor,” which might have been noticed by an expert (someone familiar with this).

- Controlled mechanical ventilation system doesn’t fit into the house
- Therefore, no gas heating but an air-to-water heat pump instead
- Wooden staircase does not fit inside
