At the prefabricated house company where we bought, the architect meeting only takes place after signing the house purchase contract. I hope we were not taken advantage of.
So you already signed? Or not yet?
And you don’t know if your wishes are feasible and at what price?
If you haven't signed yet, I would use that as leverage to get clarity beforehand.
Buying a pig in a poke can be nice and healthy, but that would be too much of a gamble for me with that "ticket price."
You can possibly agree that you have to pay for planning services even if you subsequently decide not to proceed with the purchase.
