Hello everyone,
my girlfriend and I are currently in the phase of looking for a developer or architect to build with us. We have already had appointments with architects, and we were told that everything is free at first. However, one architect has already sat down and drawn designs; can he charge us for these despite the verbal agreement?
Another question: If we now decide on a different architect, are we allowed to take ideas that we have from another architect's design with us, or would that be considered idea theft or something like that? It's not about taking the exact designs, but more general things like the structure of the facade or the roof, which one could theoretically come up with on their own...
Thanks for your help...
