But it looks pretty high up, don’t people lay foundations in the ground these days?
At least visually, the floor slab lies there like a picnic blanket on the lawn.

Haven’t you seen any plans or questioned the ventilation concept?

I only just noticed that there wasn’t a ventilation planner along with the lighting planner.

: my property is sloped. It was filled up by about 1.8m on the right side. Height-wise, the middle of the slab = street level. On the left it is about 40cm lower and on the right about 40cm higher. Finally, everything will be filled in so that the slab is surrounded by soil all around. There are no strip foundations. The slab is 'cantilevered'. There is 50cm of foam glass gravel under the slab. About 7 tons of rebar lie in the slab and the slab is 30cm thick. I think that will hold.

The question for me is just why do you only find out about something like that when they are already installing it at your place? Haven't you seen any plans or questioned the ventilation concept?

I have only seen the construction planning. They don't release the detailed ventilation and sanitary planning during the construction work. In another thread, someone was just wondering why we have a 16cm floor buildup. I always suspected it was because of the ventilation but never knew for sure.

With general contractor construction, it's not the case that you plan all such technical details yourself. It's different with individual contracting and a self-appointed MEP planner.

Räuber also looked like this for us Zuluft is at the bottom, exhaust air is at the top. That also makes sense for us 8cm filling, 7cm screed, floor covering

Even without ventilation, 6cm insulation, 2-3cm underfloor heating, 5-6cm screed = 13-15cm are minimally present. Plus floor covering.

Sorry, but I find that a bit naive. So you weren’t asked where you want the supply or exhaust air to be placed? Exactly at such a moment you would then ask the general contractor whether it will be a floor outlet or ceiling outlet, if only because of the later furniture placement options. We also build with a general contractor, so without individual tendering. But I have requested and received plans for every trade. Whether it’s electrical planning, heating load calculation, design of the underfloor heating, ventilation planning, etc..... if you don’t follow up, of course you won’t get such information.
