Floor plan of a single-family house, feedback

Enlighten us please. I have read about the robber several times already, what is that all about?

I am sorry that you had to wait so long now. I had been typing the answer for almost half an hour when a mouse button (or Windows, one never knows) had a strange twitch and I had to write the whole mess from scratch again because suddenly everything was gone: (1,610 posts, member since August 8, 2015 last seen October 10, 2018) had here tried to ask fragmented across numerous individual threads how he would best build his, if I remember correctly, 220 sqm “city villa.” His initial mistake was probably that he commissioned a general contractor, who was basically not worthy of caution, to implement his very modern design, who had an unsuitable profile (Gold frame light switches gladly, but technical and/or visual modernity rather not) and also used a structural shell builder commissioned for the first time on his project. This ultimately led to an endless chain of little disasters, in which the robber, if I remember correctly, wore out four (partly recommended by the community) construction supervising experts until he withdrew here out of honest pity. He had considered many details back and forth so much that the overview of the current release status of the detailed plans was lost and the utility installer set the house connection in the wrong basement room (correct in an older plan). The threshold of the exit onto the laundry balcony became a hurdle, ultimately due to misunderstandings about its necessary and possible height; downpipes were clad because they were installed next to the intended wall ducts rather than inside them; the elaborately integrated mailbox can now not be emptied from the rear for insulation reasons, the desired model lawn tractor only fit in height through the front but not the rear gate of the double drive-through garage, and much more.

May I ask what Fingerhaus credits you for in terms of electrical work?

Paired with the not exactly brightest construction advisors/accompanying persons/architects, this resulted in a building that was probably intended as a model object for training new construction experts.

(Additional) construction advisors were actually not available, only me here in the forum. The self-design was already too far advanced for an architect to save anything. And also construction-supervising experts cannot act retroactively – by the time the third one was called, the situation was already hopeless. The pathologist knows everything, but too late.

May I ask what Fingerhaus credits you for electrical work?

You can always ask.
What goes out is a "Expansion Package 04"; in return, a box set and pull-wire preparation thing goes in, so it results in a minus of about 12k euros. (Which doesn't even come close to covering what I plan, but that's clear. What goes out is an absolute standard electrical installation; what I plan is ... not).

The standard electrical work is always rather meager no matter whose construction specification you look at.

How thick is a non-load-bearing interior wall then?

The question comes to me out of nowhere. What are you getting at?

Electrical work is structurally such a load-bearing part and within a turnkey prefab house such a minefield of warranty pitfalls that the head of the legal department could retire over not having forbidden it to sales.

I don’t understand exactly what you mean. Explain where the separation of warranty could be difficult if the electrical work is installed in a pre-wall structure?

That @wiltshire need not regret it, in my opinion, is no encouragement to try it yourself.

That’s true. It only shows that it can run relaxed and smoothly. Perhaps it should be mentioned that I awarded the contracts myself (not a generally advisable approach) and made sure that carpenters and electricians already knew each other from various projects and were well coordinated. For the carpenters, I hired a trade coordination. Their site manager proved to be very reliable and was significantly cheaper than a site manager service according to HOAI. It is a path with risks that one can see and assess. Essentially, it is the question of how much entrepreneurial spirit you bring to your own construction project. There is no "right" or "wrong," but more "suitable" or "unsuitable" depending on the builder’s personality.
