Most importantly i would like to receive comments regarding the connection between the two buildings(see picture below) and if there are any issues on how the beams are connected to the columns of the two buildings

It all looks good, except there is no rebar called out. Add rebar to your note.

The beams that connect the two buildings together are at a different level than the other beams.

The height of the two buildings is 3.5m while the height of the connecting building is 3.0m

will there be any issue with the column?

Do you guys think I should connect the two buildings together as shown in the pictures above
or do you think there might me a differential settlement between the two buildings due to the difference in weight?
Therefore do you guys think there could be a considerable difference in settlement between the two buildings after construction?
