Hello!
We are currently in the final stages of our planning. A soil survey has already been conducted. Now our architect still needs the dimensions for an infiltration system (most likely as a shaft). We requested these dimensions from our soil surveyor, and he now wants almost as much money for the dimensioning as for the entire soil survey (more than €800).
Is the price justified? It seems very, very high to me. According to my research, a calculation according to "DWA A 138" is quite simple if you have the necessary numbers and formulas (these are also available, for example, as an Excel template or online tool). This should not take a practiced engineer more than 1 to 2 hours, or are we overlooking something? Unfortunately, the offer here only mentions a flat fee and provides no further details.
Thank you very much!
