The architect planned our terrace too large in the building application documents. It fit the floor area ratio, but apparently there are limitations in the development plan that the architect was not aware of. All future neighbors whose building permits have been granted are also not allowed to have a large terrace and apparently had problems as well. For example, the terrace may only be half as long as the house length.

Therefore, the terrace had to be redesigned and the surveyor had to correct the site plan.
Now the surveyor's invoice has arrived. About 250 euros.
Actually, we had already paid the surveyor for the site plan. But now he is charging 2 hours of office work for the correction and costs for the site plan copies.
We wanted the terrace to be as large as possible, but only within the permitted framework and following the development plan, in order to remain in the simplified approval procedure.
We didn't screw this up, did we?
Do we have to pay this or the general contractor?

I was unsure if many people still look at my floor plan thread at all. I hope to get a few more opinions here. I am new to the construction business and don't know if I would unnecessarily jeopardize things with the general contractor. So I wanted a few opinions.

Well, should the architect pay?

Nanana, your floor plan thread has already caused so much amusement here that surely thousands of users have subscribed to it. As long as the subscription is not canceled, you get an extra notification about the new post.
