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.Hotzenplotz3 Oct 2018 11:08The construction manager has apparently been on sick leave for the fifth time since the project started. The drywall installer doesn’t know when to install the gypsum board ceiling. The roofer says that the Velux ceiling spotlights should only have been installed after the gypsum board ceiling was in place, but they are already installed. One of the spotlights is positioned in such a way that it is blocked by a rafter in the roof and cannot be fitted with any ducting. He doesn’t know what to do. Pure chaos! And they receive a five-figure amount for this kind of site management. Simply frustrating!
At least the plasterers carefully reworked every plaster section that the construction manager had approved. So just good will, as everything was supposedly fine.
After the bumpy blower door test, the drywall installer says he has already had to dismantle the boxing in the bathrooms for the third time because something still needed to be sealed or the whole thing had to be documented by photo.
The base plaster is being applied now. The finish plaster is scheduled to be done in 10 days. The scaffolding should be removed in three weeks.
The screed is being heated. However, some pipes in the heating system are still cold. I don’t understand that. But at the moment, I can’t ask anyone. The exposed pipes in the recessed screed areas of the showers also seem not to be carrying water. Nevertheless, it’s moderately warm inside the house.

As with the water pipes, a leak test is conducted before the screed is installed. There is also a report for this.Perhaps this was not done, and it seems a bit condescending to me to write this here.
This is not the first time in this thread that other users write things like "Shouldn't have...", "It should have been...", "It's obvious..."
But on this construction site, not much is obvious, and the line between "well-intentioned" and "Everything is going wrong for you" is very thin here.
I just feel sorry for the builder now, and I wish him all the best despite everything... :-(
