Responsibility of the architect in case of KfW interest and further matters

The preparation of the LV was the responsibility of the young architect. However, I cannot prove the procedure; he informed us of it orally on Wednesday.

Can you prove it? Have all the KV's shown to you and the tender text. Then compare calmly. Even if it wasn't a 100% copy & paste, you should discover the "template" if he really worked that way.

My wife also manages to get that on the table from time to time when checking classwork.

No, he sent specifications to the trades and they filled them out. I can no longer see which one was the original offer.

Domski, take a look at what I do professionally. (wink to your wife)

We commissioned HOAI 1-8 and did not skimp on it

Yes, you did. Have you ever looked at what the regular fee would be according to HOAI for your construction sum?

OK, then forget what I said. Then I did not quite understand his approach. So he did not simply redistribute the first offer as a specification? Or did everyone else just add prices to his template?

I can't prove the procedure though

Of course. You call the bidders and ask if they have filled out a bill of quantities or submitted their offer based on a functional specification. In case of need, a prior notice to the architect should be sufficient to proceed in this way.

So he didn't simply redistribute the first offer as a bill of quantities?

That's at least how I understood it. Quickly obtained an offer based on a functional specification and then created a bill of quantities from it by copy and paste.
