ᐅ Floor plan design shortly before submitting the building permit application

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.

The inspector’s report arrived today. Please send it to me by email.

to me, the report does not seem professional or really helpful, I also find it rather unhelpful. Detail photos without information on location, zoom level, or viewing angle. I like to think I know your house quite well, yet I cannot confidently identify what most of the pictures actually show. Furthermore, I miss specific instructions on how to properly address the indicated—well, what exactly are they: defects or just areas for improvement?
As it stands, it’s just a collection of observations without classification or constructive guidance.

That is nonsense, or rather, it only "works" in theory. You won’t find perfect levelness, so in practice, you end up with puddles sitting on the roofing felt if the entire surface doesn’t have a slope.Designing structures with a planned slope of 0° (is that better?) is not nonsense at all, but it actually has nothing to do with "roofing felt."

Designs with a planned slope of 0° (better this way?) are not nonsense at all, but actually have nothing to do with “roofing felt.” Even if it’s only 0.49° due to commercial rounding and the roofing felt is obviously just a placeholder for any waterproof membrane: in principle, for every tiny bowl-shaped deviation from perfect flatness, water does not drain but relies on evaporation. Slopes that are more than just “equivalent to the bank angle of the tiny bowls” cause the bowls to tip over and drain.
As far as physics has not changed significantly since Hoimar von Ditfurth, I still consider this valid.

I would get a different expert.
A lot is getting out of control on your end, and your expert apparently isn’t worth the money.
And it is getting out of control.
Our expert said, “If something doesn’t feel right or you have a bad feeling, get in touch. Usually, there really is something wrong.”

R.Hotzenplotz16 Jun 2018 16:40I confronted the inspector, stating that I had expected precise recommendations for action, such as
A needs to be replaced
B needs to be chiseled away by 3cm (1.2 inches)
C needs to be filled
He has now responded to me as follows.
"Here is a general explanation. With our inspection reports,
we pinpoint the issues to prompt the other party to make corrections.
This is how all colleagues who offer construction quality assurance
work, such as TÜV and DEKRA.
You are asking for a legal expert report with all the details.
That is a different level. In your case, I would expect to spend about 2-3 days working on that,
with the result that we escalate the contractual relationship with the developer, potentially leading to a legal dispute (possibly the construction site is put on hold and you may be held liable for damages).
Legally, you have no possibility to intervene during the construction phase until final acceptance.
Therefore, it would be counterproductive to issue direct instructions for action.
I kindly ask you to forward the report.
I am also available to provide explanations together with the developer on site. However, let’s first wait for their response."
