Statics/Energy Saving Ordinance Is the offer fair?

It was written a bit exaggeratedly, that had to be recognized now. No one invests much time and work in a structural analysis for 1500, especially not when there are also reinforcement and formwork plans for it.

Hi, sorry that I haven't replied to you at all. The structural engineer was a recommendation from my architect and apparently he doesn't use tension bars. I can ask him if I may pass on the contact details. But I think it only makes sense in RLP and Hessen. In my case, there is already a very good existing structural calculation because I am building on an existing building and only adding one more floor.

RLP and Hessen are fine.

Fear of steel at 100% safety,... hardly exists anymore with today's evidence. The question is rather what was assumed, such as the ground conditions, meaning no soil samples were taken or similar.
Were finite elements taken into account.

That's where the wheat is separated from the chaff.
And the client can end up stuck with a damage.

Of course, everyone also looks at the price,
but no one with a university degree is so stupid
and then delivers accordingly to the price.
Especially structural engineers have been in high demand for years
and choose their projects.
