Floor plan optimization city villa + fill consideration

Quick question: The architect planned our terrace too large in the building application documents. The floor area ratio was fine, but there are apparently restrictions in the development plan that the architect was not aware of. All future neighbors whose building permits are granted also cannot have a large terrace and apparently had problems as well. For example, the terrace may only be half as long as the length of the house.

So the terrace had to be redesigned and the surveyor had to correct the site plan. Now the surveyor's invoice has arrived. About 250 euros. Actually, we already paid the surveyor for the site plan. But now he is billing 2 hours of internal office work for the correction and the costs for the site plan copies. We wanted the terrace to be as large as possible, but only within the allowed limits and following the development plan, to stay in the simplified approval process. We didn't mess this up, did we? Do we have to pay this or does the general contractor?

Limitations that were not known to the architect.

Great architect. You probably commission the surveyor yourself, so you have to pay for that as well. I would, however, get it back from the "architect".

And symmetrical it probably isn't anymore either

Secondly, I "learned" the day before yesterday that it probably only stems from my ego problem, and first of all, unfortunately, it still doesn't help.

When the Vorwerk representative and Jehovah's Witnesses stand at the door, you flee through the patio door - whether slid open or pushed - more comfortably than through the window, even if it were widened further.

I don't believe that, see:

Here: you can find a fairly detailed recent thread on this topic. Unfortunately, there are many "planners" who pick up the money lying on the street again and basically just paint lamp shopping lists into floor plans. But that's a broad field that would still be enough for four to five hundred posts just about you alone – and then we haven't even said a word about your carport and your garden :-( :-( :-(

Can you post the link to the lighting planning again? This one unfortunately no longer works. Best regards and thanks

Then it won't work again. There's some crap in the forum software technology that rebuilds the link. When you click the link, the "WWW" is converted back to "www," but not "Threads" to "threads." So: just click and then manually change the "T" back to a "t" :-( One could take user-friendliness more seriously, but apparently, one doesn't have to. "Well, that's how it is, hm," my former mayor would say.

Haven't written here in a long time.

Does anyone know if you need a new building application if you now want to build with a basement, or is a simple amendment application enough?

Apparently, the earthworks are so expensive. We are being invited to a meeting with the construction company because they want to ask whether we really want to build as planned. Maybe you could build with a basement for about the same amount of money.

I could really puke. Why do they come up with this so late? Is that normal?
