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.

So for me, the question is not why 199 instead of 201, but why 201 instead of 213.I just went back and checked again, but I can’t quite follow you on the 213cm (6ft 11½in).
It’s clear that from today’s perspective the 213cm (6ft 11½in) should have been planned and agreed upon. But not much more than that, right? Or did you see any grounds in your statement to challenge the current execution somewhere?

We have been living in our newly built house for 2 years, and not everything went smoothly either. Some issues still haven't been resolved. Once the contractors have been paid, they disappear. Warranty claims are useless if you don’t want to invest a lot more time and money in lawyers. Therefore, it’s best to withhold a reasonable amount of money at the end until everything is fixed and approved by an expert!

Regarding windows... I thought the plans always show the rough opening dimensions for the window cutout. Which window is installed is decided during the selection process, for example whether it is fixed or tilt-and-turn, and which threshold is used at the floor. The window openings will not be changed, and neither will the passage.
And how would it look “from the outside” if every window or opening has a different size?!

So, what does it look like from the outside when each window or opening has a different size?!In my opinion, it already looks quite bad as it is now. Doors with varying widths, glass panels of different sizes. The only thing that fits together is the bathroom and master bedroom doors—but even that only regarding symmetry, not functionality. Unfortunately, I hadn’t realized or noticed this clearly, even though it is visible on the plan.
So I understand your point; however, the design as it stands doesn’t meet that expectation either. At least the three balcony doors should have been planned and built to match the dimensions of the left door!
Regarding the shell construction dimensions: Yesterday I measured several windows inside the house. Their height matches the shell dimension exactly. But in terms of width, the shell dimension is sometimes listed as 4cm (1.6 inches) larger than the actual window. I don’t understand this. Therefore, I have now requested the delivery notes so the expert can verify this.

There wasn’t. We only looked at the front door that was shown to us, and that was it. Unfortunately, I forgot to ask about it afterward. Otherwise, I would have noticed.
How are they supposed to manage countless doors and windows in a general contractor house? They had three or four front doors on display, a case with window handles, but that was all I saw in advance regarding the windows. It’s ridiculous when I think back to standing there picking out window handles, even though it was already decided that these tiny ones would be installed. I couldn’t care less about that stupid handle we spent 15 minutes examining!
