The drawing stamp must be filled in properly. Currently, there is no one responsible for the drawing. In the "specifications," it should also state which standards and norms have been used, as well as which dead loads have been applied in addition to the concrete slab. It would also be good to make a reference to the original drawings that have been used. I also think that an expander should be added either between the column top and the wall or between the beam and the wall, to control the joint laterally. I also consider that the characteristic loads should be presented under "basic load cases" and that these should be combined under "load combinations" in the calculation. I also see no performed serviceability limit check.
I have of course intentionally blurred the drawing stamp. Wasn't quite sure if it was right to show it openly. Naturally, all the details are filled in there. But it's good that you're attentive and meticulous. Me like! 

Regarding that other thing ...
... really great input! I actually need to check this with the designer! You have significantly more knowledge and experience in these matters than I do, and therefore it is immensely appreciated that you take the time to present your viewpoints on the whole thing. I thank you so much my friend!
This was exactly the kind of feedback I was looking for when I wrote the post!

I almost assumed it was censored
The other part was mostly about being clear and making it "traceable" for any future interests.
So now it's just for you to find someone to do the work
