Hello,
we have a question about the architect's fees.
We planned the building application with an architect. To protect ourselves cost-wise, we agreed on a fixed price with him in advance. This is set out in a contract, but it also includes the estimated construction costs and the living area. The architect said at the time that he had to enter some values there, but they were quite irrelevant since we had a fixed price anyway. Now the architect is asking for more money because we exceeded these figures by about 25%. Does he have the right to do this?
He never informed us that we would have to pay more until we received the invoice.
Thank you for your answers.
