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.

Such issues lead some people to only buy used homes and never want to build themselves!
Or rather, these stories cause that.That may well be true. The photos and what the plasterer told me have already sparked reactions like "lawyer," "definitely not plaster water," etc., right here in this thread. How is a layperson supposed to judge whether someone is exaggerating, trying to distract from their own mistakes, and so on?
Of course, you get worried when hundreds of thousands have already been invested in the house and suddenly the entire basement is wet, and everyone tells you that such an extent is not normal despite plastering.

At least it’s "only" operational errors and not construction defects.That’s how it appears for now at least. More details probably won’t be known until someone is living in the house.... (and hopefully water will never come in anywhere).

Aren’t you still at the interior plastering stage? So why are the gutters removed?Interior plastering was done last week; since yesterday they have been working on the exterior plaster. I suspect they removed the gutters last week, against all logic. Another possibility is that the plastering schedule had been set weeks ago and was abruptly stopped by the general contractor due to the expert and the lawyer’s involvement. It’s not impossible that the pipes had already been removed then.
The site manager also noticed yesterday that the garage roof isn’t properly drained yet. He plans to report this to his colleague so it can be addressed after the vacation.
Here, all the water from the gutter spilled onto the area, stood there, and apparently found its way into the house.

So far, I only know plastering water from cleaning, not from applying plaster (?) – obviously, water is bound in the plaster, but after application, it is not soaked like a rice field. Therefore, without the photos of the leak points, I would have thought they were just fooling you.

So without the photos of the leak points, I would have thought someone was just fooling you.Do you wet walls in new construction beforehand? No idea. But the plastering machine does have a water hose; otherwise, it would be a very dusty process.

Our exterior plastering still has to be done, but I don’t think the gutters will be removed for that; otherwise, they might as well have left them off from the start...
Why leave the garage without drainage? In the other thread, you posted pictures that don’t look very good; won’t the plaster get damaged by that?
