Floor plan EFH165 sqm first draft - Architect dissatisfied

What do you think of the new drafts?

I scratch my head and can't figure out what the operator of this graphics program might do for a living.

Are there any no-gos again that we've missed?

Whether that is the case is, to put it politely, difficult to say. To me, it looks like a young teenager is supplementing their pocket money by hacking amateur sketches into their PC and translating your building idea into a rudimentary simulation. That’s not how a serious architect works (in Germany). The draftsman of in Croatia delivered a higher level of quality.

Whether that is the case is, to put it kindly, difficult to determine.

I also don't want to be mean, but I work professionally with papillary lines and immediately thought when seeing the phone screenshot that someone graphically modernized a very small section of the fingerprint ridges, which resulted in something like this.

There are no more screenshots than these. I have learned and am sending everything ;) We have not worked with any architect yet, so we don’t know what to expect as a sketch or how something like that should look. The exterior wall on the upper floor is not complete and measurements are missing on one side below, that is clear and secondly it annoys us because then the rooms cannot be assessed very well. Otherwise, are you missing the exterior view and sections?

This is not supposed to be a finished design plan, but just ideas based on which we will continue working. So the fine work is yet to come, maybe I expressed myself poorly there.

These Windows 3.11 children's drawings are even further away from a basis for fine-tuning than the Marlboro Man is willing to walk. The recognizability that these are supposed to represent floor plans was already much more advanced in the opening post. You at least already have a plot of land, and if I remember correctly, you have already paid the guy something, albeit below the fee schedule. My expectation (not only in my head but also in the planning contract) would be to get a preliminary draft usable for a building inquiry at the municipality and initial price estimates from construction companies. I see nothing healed from the original deficiency. You have gotten new little pictures with which you can pity yourselves or be laughed at – I see nothing remotely congruent with something I would be willing to call a goal (even just a milestone). I would gladly find you an architect and a construction company, but not this year anymore.

There are no more than the screenshots. I have learned from this and will send everything ;)

What use is it if the planner hasn’t learned anything?

We have not worked with any architect yet, so we do not know what kind of sketches one can expect, what such a thing should look like. The exterior wall on the upper floor is incomplete and measurement details are missing on one side downstairs, that is clear and secondly, it also annoys us because the rooms cannot be assessed well. Otherwise, are you missing the exterior view and cross-sections?

Two roughly most incomplete paint program sketches are an outrage and nothing else. The word "improvement" should contain "better." So far, he has only done poor work, now he is mocking you as well (and you apparently unaccountably seem to be grateful for it or at least appeased). Take a look through any other planning threads here, this is what a draftsman-quality drawing looks like, which a real architect should easily surpass significantly. I can’t believe it.

This is not meant to be a finished draft plan, but just ideas on which we can then continue to work. So the fine work is still to come, maybe I didn’t express myself well here

No one wants to criticize you, but rather to illustrate, based on knowledge or experience, how terrible the (non)performance here is, even after another attempt. Apart from the fact that this will slightly increase the costs you’ve thrown out the window, the added value of the current state is zero.
The clarity of the identical statements here gives you insight into the "performance."
An architect must, besides his actual work, also be able to provide you as clients with something you can use to imagine and design your future home. How should you correct anything when there is absolutely nothing to see except a half-baked Tetris?
I really understand that such a parting is unpleasant, but in view of the challenges still ahead in building the house, I would urgently advise you to do so again, since the man obviously cannot do better and surely knows that himself!
I see no glimmer of hope anywhere that would make me stay with this man; rather, I see and hear all the alarm lights and bells when I look at the further course and the eventual outcome.
Offering to guide you once again as a clearly improved measure is nothing other than a disrespectful slap that you should not accept. Your next, real architect would be able to tell you that as well.

The clarity of the identical statements here gives you insight into the "work done."

I will link the truly appallingly bad example, which is still by far more usable compared to this:
