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.

R.Hotzenplotz20 Sep 2018 21:30I spoke with the expert. He confirmed that the formation of small bubbles is normal and that it is not the plasterer’s responsibility to sand the plaster again.
Q2 is a basic plaster quality, and he has never encountered a plasterer failing to meet these requirements anywhere. Based on my description, he didn’t even find it necessary to inspect the site personally, and I don’t mean that negatively. So, it seems the painter is trying to fool me. This is going to get interesting. I thought I could be glad once the general contractor was finished and "my" tradesperson arrived, but maybe the problems will only really start then. All just rip-offs.
And then it’s no wonder that customers compare everything, check every detail, and negotiate down to the last breath when dealing with tradespeople.

Look at it positively – you have the opportunity to reflect on yourself and will probably come to better understand some of your past decisions regarding your GC.

Once this never-ending story is over, I would put the general contractor’s name in huge letters right under the thread. I really hope it ends soon... it’s becoming unbearable to watch... poor homeowners, needing an expert for every single step... terrible... :-(
