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.

Is the entire basement fully insulated on all sides? How thick is the insulation?
You should ask your architect or energy consultant. The general contractor’s concern isn’t unreasonable. It doesn’t really make sense to heat only two rooms if the adjacent rooms are not insulated. In that case, those two rooms would effectively be heating the entire basement.

In areas not in contact with the ground, the exterior basement walls made of concrete will be insulated on the outside and finished with white plaster.

Especially since the earthworks need to be tendered as well, and without earthworks, nothing can really be done on the construction site.

The application documents may need to be revised if separate warm and cold zones are to be created within the basement. I would wait to see if the building authority raises any issues about the “missing” basement door— from my point of view, it is not missing if the basement is included within the thermal envelope. Whether or not certain rooms are ultimately left unheated is, in my opinion, a private matter. I wouldn’t make a big deal out of it right now.
In general, detailed construction planning takes time depending on the complexity of the details. Have you already started any kitchen and bathroom discussion threads?
As a precaution, I would estimate about eight weeks, since there are quite a few non-standard elements. For everything that the general contractor has as standard (floor and intermediate ceiling constructions, floor hatches, straight lintels, etc.), they will also have templates. Corner window lintels, bay roofs, and, for example, changes in wall materials where an internal door might later be installed, have to be freshly drawn and take more time. The integrated beams (however I should imagine them) and all areas with “thermal breaks” also need to be planned individually. Installation (pre-)walls in the bathrooms take longer the more they are redesigned.

I’m waiting for a quote from the general contractor and will compare it with one from a Reuter fitter, who would install it without any sales commission.
I don’t think I need a kitchen thread. I plan to visit 2–3 kitchen showrooms to gather ideas and then decide on something. But that will be only after I finally know where we stand cost-wise with electrical work and plumbing. This process is dragging on like chewing gum.
