ᐅ Floor plan design shortly before submitting the building permit application

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.

You can always find small issues. Even when you’re not building for the first time and already have some experience (or should have).
But maybe I’m just too used to asking lots of questions and being persistent because of my job. So far, the construction has been like a completely “normal” project, with all its ups and downs.
Perhaps it’s about finding the right balance between “letting go and trusting the professionals” and “I want it exactly THIS way, whether they say it’s possible or not.”
Most of the time, it actually works out.

Speaking of the garage gutter connection... It was installed incorrectly in our case.
It was connected to an empty conduit that was only meant for a garden hose from the garage to the garden. Eventually, water started gushing out of the conduit in the garden, and we were wondering where on earth the water was coming from.

Just fitting the electric toothbrush with the shower station inside the base cabinet will be tricky.[/QUOTE]
Nope. Just have an outlet installed inside the base cabinet and then you can put the toothbrush in there....
And I’ve had the same experience as you: constantly getting delayed... yeah yeah, we don’t include that in the plans, we handle it on site... great, and then on site they say: no, that’s not possible now, we should have done xyz beforehand....
We did everything we could and were mentally exhausted... but still there are things wrong that we thought we had checked 100 times...
Other things I simply didn’t know... For example, I should have asked the carpenter for a precise beam layout... that way I would have known that the beams in the exposed roof structure are spaced only 48 cm (19 inches) apart, and in the bathroom, right in the middle, it changes to 55 cm (22 inches)... I assumed common sense would tell you that looks ugly... but no, I was proven wrong...

"The narrower frame option for patio doors cannot be implemented because the weight of the glazing requires the offered frame thickness purely for structural reasons. Otherwise, the frame would warp in a very short time, which is not desired."

With the mirrored cabinet, you can also see yourself from behind using the foldable mirrors, I also find the folding mirror design very practical, but it doesn’t necessarily require a box behind it for bandages, pills, and spare razor blades.
