I thought architects are not general contractors? :confused: Don’t architects usually do a tender and you have to sign the offer?

There is no question of having a say in the contract for work. He decided alone on the heating, we were supposed to choose the tiles ourselves, he decided on the stairs himself, and he got a quote for the sanitary items. When I asked him, he finally revealed exactly what he ordered... and if I hadn’t asked, he would have installed it as chosen, and I probably would have fainted backwards..... And that is the problem now.... do we have to take the sanitary items he chose? Because the company that installs it is also involved...... so it belongs to the sanitary store. @Musketier : There was no tender and the architect is also the seller. I think something is going wrong here! Best regards

I’m afraid what went "wrong" was mainly on your part when signing the contract. It sounds like you agreed that the architect would build out your hut for a fixed price? Without any sample selection etc?

Yes, unfortunately it is like that. Everything only verbally and nothing in written form.....

I find it hard to believe this level of naivety. Even if you don't want to fool us, any help from the forum is probably pointless because the situation is so complex and extensive. Go to a lawyer who specializes in [Architektenrecht, Immobilienrecht] etc. Contact the [Bauherren-Schutzbund].
