Floor plan planning shortly before submitting the building application

... you described storage planning really well

after the answer that both rows are needed, I somehow had the feeling that something like that helps the tidier more than just the hint to do storage planning.

Building a house overwhelms us in one way or another. I have invested so much time into it, still made mistakes and still didn’t manage to get everything done. It got to the point where I developed health problems. Apparently, I’m not the only one; I was told some people even quit building their house because of being overwhelmed.

At first, two cabinets were planned, so we didn’t question it further. Now, standing in the shell of the building, you can first assess it and wonder if it’s not simply too cramped with two cabinets.

Well, I don’t want to be pessimistic. Many of your problems are self-inflicted.
For example, you were pointed out the lintels above the roller shutter boxes. Apparently it was not taken seriously, now you have small windows on the upper floor.

Of course, building a house is exhausting and I know almost no one for whom everything went smoothly. But what’s happening with you I haven’t seen before and I believe you that it affects your health.

A serious question: According to what criteria did you choose your general contractor? I thought you also talked to A....-Haus.

A construction project stands or falls with a good general contractor.

I think this house didn’t need an average architect from the general contractor, but a good architect who would have guided you.

Ifs and buts. Now it’s time to make the best of it.

I have the impression that all of this has become overwhelming for you and that you are no longer really able to form a clear thought. When was the last time you truly switched off? Spend a day, at least an evening, completely without the subject of house construction. Go out for a nice meal, spend a day at the lake or at the spa... Switch off. And then make the best of the current situation.

Regarding the furnishing of the dressing room: Grab your wife, take a notepad, and walk through the apartment. As Maria16 wrote: Take stock of everything that needs to be accommodated. With precise details. Your wife can also do this alone in a quiet moment, she may have a better overview of what is available. Then you sit down together calmly in the evening with a glass of wine, take brochures of the wardrobe programs (Ikea can be a really great help here, even if in the end it shouldn't be a Pax), and consider which layout would be best.
Only then should you decide on specific wardrobe widths, heights, and configurations. I have the feeling that you like to approach it from the other side - the interior layout of the house has to be based on the outer appearance, the wardrobes should look great visually, and only afterward do you consider what actually needs to go into the wardrobe. I don’t buy a sports car and then think about how to fit a dozen suitcases in it.

I don’t want to stress you/us out any more with all my love, but I hope the kitchen planning is better thought through - if not, also think about where it makes the most sense to place/build what. Not that the kitchen is also focused solely on aesthetics and making the best possible use of the available space without incorporating the respective needs.

When was the last time you really switched off?

Not at all anymore. I have to deal with major professional challenges alongside the house construction that occupy me for several months. 60-70 hours a week job and then house construction on top. Unfortunately, switching off is out of the question. But at least when it comes to the house construction, we are now only doing what is necessary.

Can your wife take a bit more off your hands when it comes to house construction, or is she also heavily occupied with work? You're only wearing yourself out like this, and it's definitely not worth it.
