Hello everyone,

my architect was not commissioned to take care of offers for, for example, geologist, energy consultant, etc. We contact the experts ourselves and also commission them ourselves. Now my architect is asking me about the offers, the fees, and costs of the reports.
Is it the task of an architect to take care of a comprehensive cost overview (including incidental construction costs)?

Until now, I have been of the opinion that I take care of this myself, which has also been the case so far, or can/must I have the architect handle this?

Thank you for your help!

What does your contract with the architect say and what was he commissioned to do?

In our cost breakdown and fee calculation, there was only something about KG 300+400, but he didn’t do any more than that.

There is nothing mentioned about the cost breakdown. Service phases 1 - 4 were commissioned with him at 2%, 7%, 15%, and 3%.

Maybe your architect is just asking so that he can better estimate or quantify these costs for future clients. Have you ever asked your architect directly what he needs the numbers for?

The commissioned service of your architect repeatedly includes cost control (service phases 2 + 3) of the construction project; therefore also the consideration of the expected ancillary construction costs. In this respect, it is only logical and reasonable that he asks you about the costs (for services that you commission).
