Pipe route not drawn in the plan

It would be interesting to know where the pipes come from above! Normally, bathroom on bathroom and kitchen over kitchen are planned! If a change in the overall floor plan was made at the request of another buyer, I would not accept this solution without further ado! Simply have the approval plans presented, as the originally planned location of the water should be marked there!

As a layperson, you wouldn’t think that shafts are still installed somewhere. Unfortunately, developers usually have some phrases in the contracts, something like "floor plan not binding" or, as you already said, "small changes possible"

But it also doesn't say "pretend that water, sewage, etc. are just beamed by Scotty."

The shafts shown are not dimensioned as if they only concern other floors – besides, the "own" ones would have to be visible in addition.

Just have the approval plans presented; the originally planned location of the water should be marked there!

The pipes are not shown in the floor plans of the approval documents, and in the drainage plans, only rarely are the locations of the walls shown; furthermore, there you can only see the position of the pipes in, under, or next to the floor slab – but not their possible deflections in the course of the floors.

So with us, something like that was all included in the plans and we then reworked everything accordingly with the provider so that it doesn't cause any disturbance. For us, however, it is only in the laundry room.

How does it actually work with the Abgeschlossenheitsbescheinigung? There is always a floor plan included showing what belongs to you and what is common property. Are installation shafts excluded and not considered, or has someone now run a pipe through someone else’s property?

The developer asked us beforehand where we would like the riser pipe for the bathroom. We placed it in the kitchen, next to the door, like a small standing wall into the kitchen. Like a small room divider, so to speak. Because our bathroom is directly above the kitchen.

If we hadn't already finalized the plans with the architects, we would have swapped the bathroom and the children's room. Then the bathroom would have been directly above the utility room and no one would have really seen the shaft.

But well, hindsight is always 20/20.

At our place, the developer asked us beforehand where we would like the riser pipe for the bathroom to be.
We placed it in the kitchen, next to the door, like a small standing wall extending into the kitchen. Like a small room divider, so to speak. Because in our case, the bathroom is directly above the kitchen.

Yes, but yours is a single-family house. Here, however, it’s about an apartment – and unless it’s on the ground floor, you can’t just amusingly relocate the rushing sewage boxes through the owner’s bedroom one floor below, or even better: place the sewage and ventilation boxes freestanding right in the middle of the living room so that he has to zigzag through it like slalom skiing.
