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.

There is only so much you can do about dust; it’s just part of it. There are special curtains designed for this purpose.
But it is naturally the nature of a construction site that there will be more debris than under the sofa.

Only you have to live next to the neighbor for a long time Unlike the general contractor, where you still cannot just ignore things. Therefore, advice is that an apology (together with sincere efforts to make things right) should clearly come (also) from the general contractor.

Unlike the general contractor, who still shouldn’t be allowed to get away with that.That’s not possible either. After all, they will have to cover the cost of the shrubs. Or more likely, the earthworker.
We have also experienced that construction workers can be quite rough with nature. I told my general contractor and the site manager more than three times that the rear area of the garden was off-limits to the workers and that they should dump the excavated soil at the front of the property. However, the excavator arrived and the very first thing they did was spread the excavated soil all over the entire rear area. I was speechless.
Since then, I always cordon off any areas where workers are not allowed to go with red and white tape on larger projects. It works! Trees are protected with boards, and bushes are enclosed with barrier tape. There is no other way. I can only recommend this.

It would be unfortunate to have to proceed with a substitute performance over such a matter. I hope they now use the renewed deadline to restore the property boundary by the end of the day.
Otherwise, a substitute performance will probably be the only option left.

Oh, that is really frustrating. Although your neighbor seems to be a bit of a special case.
Heaven, there’s construction going on, the new neighbor is making an effort, the kid has fallen into the well—do I really need to be so picky about it now?
You will probably have to put a lot of pressure on your general contractor or fix it yourself.

…and I thought things only go wrong with us [emoji57] Finding a (also personally good) shell construction contractor seems to be much harder than expected. Sometimes you really discover some dark sides. For example: our first shell builder is out, he spent half a year doing nothing and delayed everything whenever possible – and on top of that, he was arrogant and overbearing. The problem is always the others, apparently. Anyway, we offered a termination agreement, which he wanted, but then he dictated that he would only accept it if we paid him a high four-figure sum. If we didn’t agree, he threatened to delay the project endlessly with change orders after change orders. With a bad temper, we agreed. You might think, “write it off and forget about it.” Not with this jerk. He actually called our new shell contractor on his own to badmouth us and our architect and warn him. A really nasty type of person – just a pompous project manager in a large construction company. The problem is, our new shell builder has already worked several times with our architect’s office, and there were never any problems, quite the opposite. But how utterly nasty must someone’s character be to act like that?
Our new shell contractor, on the other hand, is a lucky find. A family-run trades company without a large bureaucracy, simply passionate about their craft and eager to build. In fourteen days, they have already advanced more than the predecessor did in six months! Amazing… @R.Hotzenplotz Good luck getting your general contractor back on track. But I also agree with @haydee, your neighbor could be a bit more relaxed. The faux pas will be corrected, and that’s it. The problem is not that something goes wrong, but how you deal with it. And here you have already shown willingness to fix (or have fixed) the incident. Some people are just hard to understand…
