Responsibilities of the Architect in Tendering

Hello everyone! The architect argues that due to a "construction boom phase" we can be satisfied at all to have an offer available. However, she does not hide the fact that she wants to bring her favored companies into play. After all, she always had good experiences with them. It annoys me that I only received one offer for the basement and house. Take it or leave it, I thought to myself.

Stupid, but do you want to accept it like that now? Grab the forms and go around the companies.

very suspicious

then you probably do not have the "rejections" from the other construction companies either??

as a construction company, we CANCEL ALL inquiries if we cannot create an offer.

again the question:
what kind of contract do you have with this architect?

I would definitely not be satisfied with just one offer

Regards
Jule

You don't always get rejections - even when it's appropriate.

You don't always get rejections - even if that's how it should be.

unfortunately that's true, but the architect should at least disclose whom he has contacted

Definitely - ours asked me beforehand who he should contact. He himself also had a list of companies. And afterwards there was the price comparison...
