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.

2. The original poster hired the demolition company themselves, so if I were in their position, I would feel taken advantage of and would immediately call the demolition company.Yes, the demolition was self-contracted. After the demolition was completed, the excavation pit looked very clean and tidy. There was no visible rubble or debris.
The company performing the earthworks suspects that rubble was instead buried under ordinary soil, whether intentionally or negligently.

That they should set aside financial reserves for unexpected issues is a separate matter, but it doesn’t directly relate to this case for now.A contingency budget was planned. But that doesn’t mean money should be spent wastefully; rather, it should be clarified early on, especially if the site manager and the earthwork contractors advise so.

What was agreed upon for the demolition? Was disposal included regardless of the actual amount and contaminant classification, or was it based on a weigh slip and actual classification?It was a flat-rate offer following an on-site inspection. There was an open clause stating that unforeseen eventualities could lead to additional costs. But nothing unforeseen was discovered. This isn’t about asbestos, which no one knew about, but simply about masonry rubble and part of an unremoved foundation that I could not see after the demolition because it was covered by other soil.
Fortunately, the amount remained fairly manageable. It even got to the point that today the structural engineer and the geotechnical expert came back to confirm that the house can be built on this soil, but they gave the all-clear, and now everything is proceeding according to plan.

Annoying
Get in touch with the demolition company.Do you think that will get me anywhere? I’m thinking I’ll just let it go.
