We are building together with a planning office and we approved, signed, and submitted the building application together with the architect of the office! We then received the building permit! So far, everything is normal!
So the permit came to you. From this, I read that you are the builders, not buyers of a developer’s house. What then is meant by building "together" with the planning office – what stakes do they have in the matter?
Now, during the measurement of the basement floor, we noticed that the children's rooms, which were actually planned to be the same size (according to the building application each 17 sqm), are different sizes (one children's room is 20 sqm, the other 15 sqm)! Our site manager couldn’t explain it either at first! He then sent me the execution plans!
Changes between the design and building application plans should have been communicated to you. Changes after the building application plans would have required corrections.
On these plans, the architect changed (reduced) the distance between two windows in the basement, which caused this size difference! The reason was that otherwise the windows in the basement would not have been aligned with those on the ground floor!
I do not understand why the change in the window position led to a change in room sizes (so I am waiting for your plan drawings). Normally it is the builders who move windows "on the fly." I cannot see what could have prompted an architect to do this. From copyright law alone, I do not consider it covered.
