Hello everyone!
As some users have requested before, Iâm 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 havenât 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 childâs 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 houseâs exterior appearance. Weâll have to see about that.

Today, I asked how these would be closed up. I was told that the structural builder wonât come back for that and they just box it off. When I asked whether this wouldnât cause problems with sound insulation, I was told that there is no soundproofing required in a single-family house (which is technically correct according to the relevant standards). Still, I want the rooms to be quiet.
The expert then suggested that we could arrange to have glass wool installed in all those spaces.
What do you think about this? It also concerns the service shafts and so on.

I think, for example, the removed ventilation pipe ran through the children's room. Or rather, the downpipe, which would have been cut out of the desk surface in the study.

So now I have to decide whether to pay extra to have glass wool installed or look for another solution. It canât be that expensive, but even though there is officially no sound insulation required in a single-family house, we still want to do our best to achieve it. From our current apartment, itâs enough for me that my wife constantly comes upstairs to the living room telling me to turn the TV down. I find it really annoying to have to be so quiet even when weâre on different floors. Thatâs why, with some foresight, I planned the hobby room in the basement as a buffer, where a home cinema could go someday.
EDIT:
Now it gets even more interesting. The underfloor heating is installed. The roofer is only coming tomorrow to waterproof the roof, and today itâs pouring rain! This canât be good if the whole place fills up with water again and it seeps into the polystyrene layer below. Oh man!
The screed still contains moisture, so it shouldnât cause any issues. I think it will evaporate during the heating phase.
I donât understand the open holes. Why donât you buy a bag of masonry mortar and just fill them in? Place a board at the bottom and fill from the top. You can easily do it yourself. Or alternatively, fill them neatly with Styrodur (extruded polystyrene).
The surface-mounted heating manifold is unusual. Iâve never seen it like that before. I thought it was always installed flush-mounted.
