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.

Why, then you just have to add insulation behind the flush-mounted box.

That’s what we're doing too. Our energy consultant recommended it. For us, anything other than a flush-mounted system was never an option, especially since the lady of the house works for the leading mailbox manufacturer...

How can this type of insulation be installed? I would like to suggest this to the site manager with specific technical details.

We built with a filled concrete block.

The mailbox has a depth of 170mm (6.7 inches), and the energy consultant recommended installing a 60mm (2.4 inches) Resol insulation panel behind it.

I think this approach is feasible as well – although I find the site manager’s suggestion practical and not visually problematic. The version with external collection would apply in both cases – maybe he was thinking of a mailbox installed through the wall?

To minimize thermal bridging as effectively as possible, an appropriate high-quality insulation material can be used, which allows for a thinner layer. Of course, this comes at a cost, but considering the small area, it is manageable.

This morning, we received a complaint from the neighbor that the carpenters had placed wooden parts on their property. Indeed, there were some wooden beams lying in the area where some bushes had been uprooted.

Earlier, I also spoke with the neighbors one house down (the other “neighbors of the neighbor”), who recently built a new house. We had arranged to look at and discuss the garden, which was done by the company Rheingrün. During the conversation, it came up that their construction process was similar (or perhaps even worse). Apparently, there were complaints everywhere, and there is simply no good agreement. They said the rest of the neighborhood feels the same way. I replied that we should focus on discussing the garden and not the neighbors. They also mentioned that on Monday, the neighbor threw dozens of bushes and brush from the property boundary area onto their land. He had previously asked if he could place leftover fragments of an old chain-link fence with the green waste, which I approved (he said the fence belonged to us, but I didn’t verify that). I might try to guess where the pile of bushes came from by looking for traces in the soil at the property line. But is that really helpful?

Well, we don’t want to make friends there, but just want to have some peace.

During the shell construction, I also noticed that the interior walls were built incorrectly (following an old plan version for the parents’ bathroom). This now needs to be corrected. What’s strange is that I specifically pointed this out by email on Monday, when no walls had been erected yet, stating that I had found outdated planning documents on site relating to the bathroom. However, it seems no one cared or took it seriously. I find this kind of thing quite incomprehensible.
