I just want to know if I should ask the construction company to change anything about the floor plans when they are almost 100% finished and will soon be sent to the building authority for approval.

Yes, if you ask me, redo everything. The location of the staircase creates ugly, dark, long, narrow hallways on the upper floor.

Why can't we sign these designs?

You can do anything! It's just not sensible.

The floor plans were of course coordinated with us for a long time and adapted several times to our needs

That may be so, but it is full of planning errors.

when they are almost 100% finished

That is not worth mentioning at all. As already said: let him discuss here and then start anew: either a standard house, slightly modified or another one. Or sign a house construction that you actually don't want. It's your decision.

Maybe someone can help me find out

You should hire a building expert who checks everything for you, including the later house construction. It doesn't work like this if you have no idea about possible consequences and on top of that you're not even in a hurry to answer a question; then put the decisions in competent hands.

You can do everything! It just doesn't make sense.

That may be true, but it is full of planning errors.

It is not worth mentioning at all. As already said: let him discuss here and then start anew: either a pre-fabricated house, something modified or another one. Or sign for a house construction that you actually do not want. It is your decision.

Which are the biggest planning errors?

Of course it would be best to take the plans to a building expert, but that means that the construction of the house will be delayed even more or that you have to take them twice to the building authority. I also wonder whether the institution that is supposed to approve our floor plans often approves insensitive designs, and their approval is not proof of a good house plan.

and their approval is not proof of a good house plan.

Why should they take on the work of an architect? They check whether everything complies with the guidelines. According to the date, you have been working on it since 2023. Asking during a permit planning is already quite late.

Furnish the place.

I asked the question on Thursday. And? Already done? Where are your efforts? Have you already gained your own insights to possibly answer your questions yourself?

Naturally, it would be best to take the plans to a building surveyor, but that means the construction of the house is delayed even further or that you have to take them to the building authority twice.

It's always funny when one's own effort or time pressure is seen as the biggest problem, and instead planning errors are accepted. And this in a project that most people pay for their entire lives.
