What would be a typical example of a tendering error and the avoidable consequence?
Laypeople tend to order a whole symphony orchestra in the same way as a soloist. But here, no plumber comes for a single faucet or an electrician for a single socket; rather, football and tennis are partly played simultaneously on the same field. According to approval plans (which many homebuilders use as a basis for requests), this guarantees chaos. Even with detailed planning but lacking site management (or quite simply: a rescheduling of the order of games on the field), there are cases where the craftsman says: “That wasn’t agreed upon; I first have to chisel away what my predecessor botched” (supervisory hours). The classic error with improper requests is that quantities and volumes are inaccurately determined and later invoiced “according to measurement.” A perennial number one is the dispute over areas to be measured in excess. Number two are the aforementioned supervisory hours. Unfortunately, inadequate translation of items into change orders also occurs without lay interference. But fundamentally, tendering with a professional pays off financially on balance (and mentally anyway).
Yes, the sightlines here make you think twice.
The view from building sites 25 to 27 is towards a rising horizon, and from sites 8 to 13 into lower neighboring gardens, where the privacy screen might be extended.
My both parents are single and over 70. But yes, probably one room on the ground floor plus upper floor is enough here.
Many (Christmas-visit) children massively underestimate how much parents have still changed between ages 50 and 70. Moreover, the principle “men indoors only ambulatory” does by no means apply to all mature ladies any longer. Mom might bring home a new dance partner. I would provide a separate suite where one can also retreat “garni” and which has a “children’s bathroom.” Whoever doesn’t find joint cooking and eating as an everyday normality pleasant in the long run must also consider that in the planning. A small “vacation apartment” is not enough to avoid each other well. A lot of rose-colored dreams are dreamed about the intensity of family connection, which leads to tensions in daily practice. For a detached single-family house, 450 sqm of land is sufficient, with more space for rambunctious offspring including playmates 550 sqm, and for a fully functional multigenerational house you already need about 700. Somewhere the chicken coop must go, in which grandma rides a motorcycle ;-)
