building without execution planning from the architect

You can give smaller pieces of advice like that, but it won't work this way. Even lawyers have to feed people with their work.

...from my point of view the house" only needs to be "built now....
...the approval plans are sufficient for him.

Setting aside the legal pitfalls: Why should someone take over the planning of "only," of details, their coordination with each other, and the liability for everything without demanding any form of monetary compensation? Does the total amount look "better" if it appears on only one invoice?

Good evening Heidi,

I have read more charming introductory rounds....

Question:
- if a general contractor makes such a statement and is willing to tackle the construction project without detailed planning, then also at a fixed price and the contract for work + description of construction services are checked and consistent, then the architect is not liable BUT the general contractor is fully liable for any later arising errors/construction defects, right??
He cannot retrospectively say the detailed planning was not provided to him, therefore the error, right??

So why actually put in the extra effort for detailed planning for such a standard off-the-shelf project (single-family house)???

Up to this point, I was willing and ready to answer your question and explain the pros & cons of such a constellation.

... because there are many builders who build without detailed planning (calculated risk YES) and still do not sit with the costs in case of defects...

Here it became clear to me why the contract for work was concluded in the present form...

thanks to , very helpful, I would never have come up with that myself. I would like to ask to really refrain from such posts. Thanks again

and from here I wonder whether you understand the meaning of the words "mutual respect"?

This is a forum for renovators, self-builders, builders and those who want to become one; users answer questioners "in their free time and free of charge". Nothing about a wish concert is stated in the forum rules, just as little as bad behavior having to be tolerated.

Now it is the case that everyone can have a bad moment once and therefore deserves a second chance. Do not squander it, because then we understand little fun here!

Rhenish greetings
