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.

For me, that would be the strongest argument against the internal door, and I would raise the garage—preferably then slightly slope the garden-side garage door. So maybe about 20 cm (8 inches) higher than currently planned.According to current information, the internal door is also unlikely to be implemented. I was already told that it is not possible without a noticeable step. I still see the safety risk as a bigger issue than the advantage of direct access to the house. I don’t mind walking around the front, even in rain, since that area is covered. Thanks to your valuable tip regarding the lintel preparation and aerated concrete blocks, we are keeping that option open! This will be included in the building contract (the door will also be listed as an option, but the likelihood of it being commissioned in the end is maybe around 25%). However, the builder asked why aerated concrete blocks specifically are preferred. He couldn’t understand the reason.
If your above proposed change becomes relevant, is something like that still possible after the building permit / planning permission has been submitted or later approved? I was told that moving windows etc. is also not an option afterward, and the decision for or against the internal garage door is the same. It would also be interesting to know how a topic like sloping the driveway would be handled now.
Raising the garage follows the same process as moving windows, although the approval procedure is naturally more complex.
It’s not a disaster if it stays as it is – not even a minor one. However, for me, these would be such perfection points that I would consider important at this price level. On the other hand, not to the extent that I wouldn’t buy a dream house because of it.

Everything looks good so far, and it will be forwarded to the city planning department. Everything should be completed within six weeks if no further issues arise.

If the basement is within the heated envelope, then no. Otherwise, yes. In this case, the basement is insulated against the heated envelope.Two rooms in the basement are heated. Additionally, perimeter insulation will be installed.
