Architect for planning a single-family house in the Kitzingen/Würzburg area

I only need an architect who is allowed to draw a plan. The plan will then be signed by my builder. Architectural supervision is not to take place because it is simply too expensive!

You can find enough indications of the dangers of this misconception here alone in this forum.

Normally, construction companies have someone on hand. Can't the construction company recommend anyone to you?

Do you have enough knowledge and time to take over the trades and construction management?

Could you please explain to me a bit more precisely what you mean by that? Thank you very much!

Yes, my contractor recommended an architect to me. However, he himself was completely taken aback when the offer of over 5,000 euros net arrived.
Since then, we have been looking for further offers with him.

Unfortunately, I do not have enough experience to take over the construction management myself.
However, my acquaintance (the contractor) wants to support me on-site during the construction, and through my work in the building materials trade, I hope to also be able to draw on the help of my colleagues/customers.

I find the 5000 acceptable. In 2017, we should have paid a similar amount for the planning up to the building permit.

I hope you haven't budgeted so tightly. During construction, some unexpected costs arise in homeowner units (+/- 1000 euros). At some point, you don’t want to open the mailbox anymore. If you are barely making it now, it will become tight, very tight.

I don't think much of leaving the largest private investment you will ever make in inexperienced hands. You don't operate on yourself just because you know a doctor and work in a pharmacy.
is currently building completely on his own. He writes very precisely about how it is going and might be able to help you with one thing or another. Just not with company recommendations - too far away.

First of all, a house is too big an investment to let it be botched by a hack already in the design phase – such a person may be sufficient if you yourself are a gifted architect and have only studied something else, or if you already have the experience of building two houses; otherwise, it is expensive "saved" tuition fees. And secondly, "site managers" from executing companies have only the same name, but do something fundamentally different. You might as well make a frog the project manager of a swamp drainage. Thirdly, in times of the Energy Saving Ordinance every house – explicitly not only those with controlled residential ventilation and/or "smart" – is so high-tech that you pay for every neglected detailed planning with complications and at least visibly regret it with dry enclosed installations.

5000€ net is pretty fair. I assume up to and including submission of approval planning? Has the huge advantage that you separate planning and execution and can obtain counter offers with the plan. p.s. We have also built in the Wü area
