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.

A relevant question in this regard would be whether it is common practice to include the house connection box in the construction plans or not. I thought I already answered that: one energy provider installs their meters and all related equipment inside the main electrical distribution box, another installs a separate black box next to it, and a third places a red box on the ground. You simply cannot include this in the plans without prior agreement. It doesn’t matter legally who the customer is afterward; technically and logistically, it makes no sense to leave this for the homeowner to sort out. You don’t delegate anything to laypeople that has to interface with several other trades. The general contractor could certainly have told the energy provider: “The site’s rough sketches are decisive.” But if the general contractor knows that this is their only contact with the structural builder, then they should be present on such critical days. Then, in the interest of limiting damage to their own reputation, they make sure everything runs perfectly from then on.

I just had the company Hansgrohe confirm that a 20mm (3/4 inch) pipe is required. Do they perhaps have a helpful PDF with the specifications available for download?

Without any mention of a reducing fitting, I wouldn’t assume that before it is a 20 either when it’s 15.That’s exactly what I mean! How am I supposed to take a firm stance when one person says one thing and another says something else? I simply have no idea!
I will hire a plumbing expert to inspect the entire house. That’s the only way I can get any further.
Who initially mentioned a 20mm (¾ inch) pipe? As stated, the HansGrohe drawing shows a DN15 (½ inch) connection piece, so having a 20mm (¾ inch) pipe would actually be unusual. HansGrohe saying that over the phone is of course confusing, but perhaps there wasn’t an expert on the line?
Talk to the assessor; a separate plumbing expert will probably arrive too late anyway.
