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.

Our downpipes were installed only after the exterior plaster was applied. Before that, there were plastic hoses in place.

I would say it’s quite tight between the pipe and the wall, making it difficult for the plasterer to work in that space.

Certainly, you can plaster over the pipes, but in some places it will just look odd.

Where is your building inspector or expert?

I have to request one. Although, it will probably be quite dry again by the time I get an appointment.

Yes, that's why I said I don't understand why this happens with a general contractor.

For example, you wouldn't apply the exterior plaster first and then chip away the plaster later to install the window sills.
It's best to work in a way that avoids causing unnecessary extra work for the following trade.

Request an expert anyway

Downpipes have to be removed; otherwise, it is not possible to properly plaster behind them. In the meantime, plastic hoses will be installed. When properly secured, they can also withstand quite a bit.

The best approach is to work so that the next trade doesn’t have unnecessary extra work.

It is not cost-effective to call the metalworker back just to reinstall the pipes.
Adjusting and installing the brackets before plastering is better than damaging and drilling into the fresh plaster afterward.
