Only belief allowed, solutions?

So, the architect has not drawn the roof terrace as far as it is actually intended - probably to avoid "raising" discussions: it would probably be permissible as long as it meets its distance area using the pathway; but if you draw it in such a way that it meets this point even without this inclusion, the approver is less picky. I cannot "check" the attic with the information I know, but I think that a full storey was successfully avoided; from my perspective, the basement is not a full storey here. Which solution for the dormer question has been decided upon? Regarding your address in the building application, I am not familiar with your form. The building project address or the delivery address of the builders could certainly belong there. So I lack the facts to support your concern that the application was filled out incorrectly.

Because he probably doesn’t listen to me properly and doesn’t read my emails properly, no idea.

So am I right with my interpretation?

I don’t want to stir up trouble. But it is actually the case that people often don’t understand you properly, what you mean.

The building application

When I read that the building application was full of errors, then it is the past tense and thus it reads as if the approval exists without your nice-to-haves. We don’t want to be pedantic now, but this can quickly lead to a communication problem – an email is read differently than it was meant and the reader reacts according to their (wrong) assumptions. Reader = architect Then you want to upload the building application here and a sheet is uploaded... Is that a building window that you see? Regarding the floors: attic and basement are calculated. Basement apparently isn’t a living space, attic will be the same for everyone here: guessing is not allowed. There are three-gable houses that are single-story, others are two-story.

Good morning,

if I have expressed myself somewhat unclearly here, I apologize. The architect has all the documents. This is not about wishes of mine that he did not implement correctly due to a communication problem. It is more about very concrete mistakes that no one can deny. Or at least a large part of the mistakes not. For example, a completely wrong address that apparently comes from another client. A completely incorrect plot size, probably also from the other client. The statement that we are building without a ventilation system, although we are building with a central ventilation system, forgetting to include the building encumbrance in the building application, etc. But none of these mistakes are disputed.
But just so much by the way.

That the upper floor is not a full floor, we agree on that (me and the architect), so I totally forgot to inform you. But the architect claims that the basement is a full floor, which I do not see that way. And why this is the case he only wants to tell me at our on-site appointment. Therefore, I wanted to check my view here beforehand to understand it better. I just have the feeling that the architect "doesn’t feel like it" and just does everything quickly somehow.

I did not want to publish the entire building application here, simply because I find it a bit extreme to disclose everything openly here, also towards the construction company. I thought the sheets would be enough. If it’s not possible otherwise, then I will do it anyway.

The other disputed point is the one with the terrace on the garage. The architect does not want to specify a terrace on the garage, because it must be specially approved as it is not allowed and therefore the exemption procedure does not apply. However, the authority has informed that processing will not take place currently due to Corona and will therefore definitely last over 6 months (rather expected to be 10 months). Therefore, we do not want that. The architect and I agree on this.
He argued his concerns about the terrace with the 3-meter clearance area and the neighborhood law. Both seem not to fit here. Since I am only an amateur and aware of that, I wanted to ask here how you see it. Of course, I also asked the architect first, but he hardly argues, just says that it is so and that 3 meters always have to be maintained.

You don't have to apologize. It was just an explanation or a search for reasons. Ultimately, you are allowed to do whatever you want here.

Like, for example, a completely wrong address that probably belongs to another customer. A totally incorrect property size, which presumably also belongs to the other customer. The statement that we are building without a ventilation system, although we are building with a central ventilation system, forgetting to include the easement in the building application, and so on. But none of these errors are in dispute.

That of course is not acceptable. Maybe he just prepared two building applications at the same time and got confused. That's why the four-eyes principle applies ;)

I just have the feeling that the architect "can't be bothered" and just does everything quickly somehow.

Nah, that would rather take longer then.

Of course, I can't say where the problem is coming from that it only results in nonsense, but so far you really have to be extremely careful with what he does. By the way, construction draftsman, not architect. I specifically asked because he is not listed as authorized to provide templates on the building application; someone else is. Well, the main thing is that progress is being made now. How does it look with the terrace if we submit now without including it in the plans? Can I apply for it afterward without any problems? The garage will be sealed separately as a terrace and built to be load-bearing, which means considerable costs. Therefore, it should already be usable as a terrace if I have it built extra stable and extra sealed.

Whether the basement and the attic are not included cannot be checked with the plans you uploaded.

For that, one needs the site plan of the original site and sections. The planner must calculate that. The office then checks the calculation and the information.

Inquiry: You are building 2 residential units, where are the corresponding parking spaces? We require 4 there.
