ᐅ The front-facing windows are suboptimal and need to be improved.

Hello,
we have already started construction and the shell is complete. Unfortunately, looking back now, I find the front elevation bothers me. Even during the planning phase, I wasn’t completely convinced, but I was repeatedly told that the house should be designed from the inside out. We have now decided to accept changes costing up to 4,000 EUR to avoid living with this discomfort for a lifetime. Unfortunately, the changes can only be made after the building acceptance. Many things can be done by my husband, who already has a lot of DIY experience. Every time I look at it, I feel like giving up, and I hope you can save the façade with some great ideas.
I’m uploading a few pictures.
Thank you very much in advance

They probably still need to submit an application to the building authority, and that could take a long time. I didn't imagine building would be like this. Above all, I never thought I would dislike it so much in the end.

Just hide the ugly facade 😀 😀

Normally, you can still change the windows after the building permit/planning permission without submitting anything. (It might also help to check the state building code to see what is listed as exempt from approval.)
IRC are considered changes to the window openings and therefore require at least a building permit / planning permission. However, it is not comparable to a complete new application. That said, the processing time can still be lengthy in an already overloaded building authority—potentially even up to 6 months, which is not unusual since a "full application" can sometimes take a year or longer.
