Experiences with building an architect at a fixed price?

Guys, nothing can become more expensive unless the end customer changes the service. If, based on a tender written by an architect according to [VOB], company z offers 123000 thousand, it is binding. Fixed. Done.

That’s nonsense. The architect does not make a tender before it is clear that construction will actually take place with him.

Or the architect has incorrectly determined the quantities (or the soil conditions or something like that).

That's nonsense. The architect does not put out a tender before it is clear that he will even be involved in the construction.

He doesn't have to, because he apparently has agreed on unit prices with certain companies. That way, if he calculates correctly, he knows what the house he designed will cost. If client xy now goes ahead, he can name the fixed price—just like the general contractors do.

That might still work for repeatedly recurring standard houses, but I do not expect a standard house when I go to the architect.

You would therefore have to doubt that it exists: Architect offers at a fixed price. but that is exactly the topic here. - I do believe that such a thing exists. Only - the client then does not have the architect as his advocate by his side, because he is in a close network of relationships with his craftsmen. The architect is the general contractor. That is how it is then. I already wrote that further above. K.
