Sorry, I forgot the on-site appointment question. An appointment at the property was planned with a subsequent discussion of the wishes and the first manual sketch or trying out different entrances, room layouts, etc.

Professionally, I hope the architect is an architect.

We will have a look at your instructions sometime.

Show the results from point 3.1!

The contract (if the excerpt is reasonably representative) leaves enough room downwards to consider it flawlessly fulfilled. Therefore, nothing more needs to come, since any demand for correction would be in vain.

I read "student assistant" as a hint to a professor / private lecturer (these are usually the ones who got a warning from for having nothing to do with construction practice and current decade’s prices), and yes, a HiWi would roughly explain the planning quality. What did you pay for that fun?
"According to HOAI," by the way, would also have been associated with clear service contents. "Smart" not to refer to that.

Under "Services" there is also "The path to personal advice." One could build on the so-called planning so far via "Setting the course: Steering towards implementation." That would go in the direction of the goal of point 3.3.

The question is whether and to what extent you can still opt out or involve another planner. Is it a freelance architect or the so-called draftsman of a construction company? We had a general contractor (GU) who did everything himself, and if he couldn't manage it with his planning software, then it simply didn't work; a complete chaos, unstructured, unreliable, and mostly casual in dealings. In the end, it still resulted in a nice house but with a lot of unnecessary hassle. For you, it doesn't have to be an absolute drama, but you should clearly assess the situation and not let yourselves be lulled. If necessary, it might cost some money, but that's less bad than living in botched work for decades. I really believe that you could also start here with a solid basis and, with the knowledge from the forum, arrive at a good plan that the house building company then implements for you. In fact, we probably made hundreds of detailed drawings ourselves to prevent the botched work of our GU as best as possible. The question would really be whether the "drafts" presented here are actually to be accepted as such as named in the contract, since even amateurs can clearly see fundamental planning errors here, for which you don’t need an expert to uncover them. He or a second architect knows that if you address it that clearly. Troubles usually arise during construction – don’t be discouraged, even if sometimes it feels like nothing is moving forward. Your requirements have not disappeared, and perhaps you will still let go of the mandatory staircase shape; it should be a nice staircase, but there are many possibilities for that. We also absolutely wanted a straight one and much else, but fortunately were eventually freed from such rigid specifications. Perhaps a serious conversation with the managing director or similar is also possible to achieve a change of the "architect."

That is at least 1 m in the building window, which is more like a 10% gradient. I don't see anything planned by the architect. Are there reference heights?

A bit more overview. The slope is approximately 7%.



I suspect the architect had the intern do the planning there.

Do houses 47 and 49 already exist?

I cannot answer the question about the reference height, I don’t quite understand the question. And how do you come to 7%?

By the way, the professor or PD is not the architect, he only hired a student as office manager. The architect is the CEO. Basically, they do free planning, but are somehow also affiliated with a prefab house company. However, you don’t have to buy from them. I don’t think we’ll get out of this without paying the full price (about 6000). At least we are still trying in the conversation, maybe something can be saved or a new design created.

Drawing ourselves is difficult for us, we tried all weekend, we’re not that talented and with a toddler, there simply isn’t enough time and concentration.

Regarding the stairs, one general question: what price differences do they make? We simply don’t find these narrow steps on winding stairs comfortable to walk on; it’s not primarily about the appearance.

Attached are the hand sketches from 3.1
