And then another 25k for the architect... Who is supposed to pay that, please? 98% of people don’t pay that, which is why most also offer below HOAI. And then architects and engineers wonder why most people today build with developers and solid houses from catalogs where these tasks simply don’t exist.

Nobody really wonders about that, it’s clear that if I can use a structural analysis for a house 100 times, then related to the house it costs 100 times less. Therefore, you pay significantly more in fees for the "special" architect-designed house. Whoever pays 2-3k€ for the structural analysis of their custom-designed house is basically just handed the structural analysis of a similar house with the cover sheet swapped. Or the costs are allocated elsewhere or the structural engineer is sitting in India, or, or, or...


Well... in another context:
45k€ for an Audi A4? Who pays that, please?
5€ for a kebab? Who pays that, please?
Or 100€ for a pair of pants? Who pays that, please?
.
.
.
There are also versions for 10k€, 1€, and 5€...

I find it remarkable that you can conclude bad work directly based on the price. To address this directly: Our bricklayer praised the [Statik] and was glad that it was done properly, so he had to install comparatively little steel.

With HOAI it's like with any other market. Supply and demand regulate the price.
And that shows that the HOAI simply misses the market.

I think someone who paid too high a price for their services is justifying it...

No, it is all too well known and also repeatedly shows in such threads that engineers do not appreciate their work... so I just can't help but add my two cents. There are various anecdotes:

For example, 20-year high school reunion: You stand at a table with a civil engineer and chat, mention that you want to build an extension on your house. The engineer will explain what you have to watch out for, make a small sketch on a napkin, give a rough cost estimate, and even offer to come over for a beer to take a closer look. Later in the evening, you stand at a table with a lawyer and chat, here you also mention a small problem with your neighbor that bothers you. The lawyer then kindly offers you to come to a consultation in two weeks, the initial consultation costs only 500€, and then you can see what can be done.

I had actually intended to keep my mouth shut on such topics... Your example could also be interpreted as civil engineers being more pleasant in character. Or rather knowing that life is always about give and take. But I don't think it's easy to paint everyone with the same brush. And it’s not explicitly directed against you. Our structural engineer will probably cost around €6,500 including the thermal certificate, etc. I also thought I’d fall off my chair seeing what he wants to charge for it. I hope the work will be worth it. Many greetings! mini
