We are not wish granters either
That is correct. I notice (as you probably do too) that the process here in the forum is always the same. A builder wants a 3rd or 4th opinion and suggestions for improvement, but has already made extensive considerations (which are often questioned here) and incorporated corresponding wishes into their concept. The experienced members here in the forum then express their concerns and suggestions for improvement, which are a mixture of common sense, many years of experience, and quite a bit of personal taste. The builder usually takes some of the advice but does not fundamentally change their concept. The builder is then portrayed as resistant to advice because they insist on their wishes.
I am grateful for all suggestions and consider all of them. That does not mean that I consider every suggestion sensible for my needs and implement it.
You could also have simply given more respect to our concerns. That would not have taken two weeks. Well, could have, would have, should have
It would not have taken two weeks to take the concerns into account. But there is still a long tail attached (finding out how exactly the dimensions should be changed, what a new kitchen concept would look like, coordination with the busy planners involved, etc.).
What good is it to openly present the problems in time, and you as the OP dismiss them as insignificant.
That is your interpretation. We dealt with it (briefly) at the time and decided against a change due to the consequences described above.
Or the other way around: what is already built and what could be integrated from this open hallway into the living area? Although: the position of the sewage is probably already fixed?
We have discussed the integration of the hallway into the living space both here in the forum and with architects and construction companies. The path from bedroom/bathroom towards the house entrance is a walkway and cannot be obstructed by anything. So far, no one has been able to explain to me exactly what the integration of the hallway would bring. Apart from that, for various reasons we do not want the bathroom door and bedroom door in the living area.
The position of the sewage is fixed, although the floor slab has not yet been poured (this should happen early next week). The energy certificate and structural engineering (the wall between living room and hallway is load-bearing) have been completed for some time.
