A very dear hello to all forum members,
At the moment I have really “big stomach pains” regarding our architects.
We are building for the first time, so we also have no “prior experience” with architects and their contracts.
We are currently in performance phase 4. Performance phase 3 has been completed and in performance phase 4 we are shortly before submitting the building application.
So far so good. We have sat together with the architects about 7 times at least. At the first meeting we expressed our wishes expecting that more questions would come from the architects’ side. But they didn’t ask much, rather just started planning and I had the feeling that if something in the planning didn’t suit us, they were angry and impatient.
We have a very “prominent” plot by the water and it seems to me as if they simply just want to realize themselves.
When we then asked another architect to look over the plans, my bad feeling was confirmed. Planning mistakes after planning mistakes.
As the “last straw” I found last week in my email account the email from our architects with.... “we have a compromise for you”. It was basically a complete optical change to the building without consideration of our wishes.
Now I am sitting here and am desperate.
Does anyone have an idea how to end such a collaboration???????????????????
Are there any legal foundations that protect building owners in such situations???
Such a construction project would ruin us not only mentally but also financially.
Does anyone have advice or ideas??? Thank you all Your BH
