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.

I don’t want to dispute the fact that a freelance architect can be a good solution, maybe even the better one. We did consider that as well. But for us, it simply didn’t fit, and it didn’t work out. There’s no point now in revisiting that question with every minor issue during the construction process, especially since it won’t change anything anymore…

For them, every house is an architect-designed house. This often just means it is a custom design—as opposed to a catalog plan—but not necessarily unusual in the details. The other houses are usually not such clusters of special requests (bay window plus laundry balcony plus partial basement guest room plus ideal home theater viewing distance plus mini excavator extractor).

I don’t want to deny that hiring an independent architect can be a good solution, maybe even a better one. We considered that as well. But it just didn’t work out for us and didn’t come together. There’s no point now in revisiting that question every time there’s a minor issue during the construction process, especially since it no longer helps... You say there were no issues?
When I read through this thread and see everything that went wrong, I don’t see minor issues but rather a number of serious errors—despite the involvement of experts and supervision, etc.
That makes me seriously doubt the quality of your general contractor (GC).

Even if we had ventilation plans, we would have had to hire an expert at 200 € per hour to evaluate them. And once again, the prioritization is completely off. I’m talking about simple things. Is the system adequately sized; check the datasheet. What do I get—wall, ceiling, or floor outlets—and where will they be located? This is crucial for future furnishing and maintenance. Besides, floor outlets would never, under any circumstances, be installed in my house.
