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.

This needs to be properly fixed NOW, and sealed correctly (not by the painter).... now is the chance before everything gets covered up by the interior finishing. Normally, the guy said that in his tests with houses from our company it’s around 0.6... so based on your test, I would start having all the issues addressed before moving forward.

We will have to wait and see regarding the unprofessional workmanship. He will put it in writing, and if that is rejected, I will have a lawyer review what specific claims can be made. There’s not much else that can be done.

Yes, what I mean is: issues are still easy to fix before the interior finishing; afterwards, they won’t be.I understand your point. I don’t have a good feeling about this either. However, I’m in a difficult position because I can neither demand something that is not owed nor interfere independently with the construction schedule, as doing so would void the entire warranty, not to mention the additional costs involved.
What warranty do you lose if you say stop, don’t continue building until this is clarified?
Whether or not you involve a lawyer, there is still a principle of proportionality when it comes to rectifying defects. It may well be the case that you have to live with your improperly sealed windows because removing wallpaper, drywall, windowsills, etc., would be disproportionate.
