Hello, I hope you can help me.
Current situation:
We are building an extension, about 110m2 (1,184 sq ft).
We have the building plan and building permit / planning permission.
The excavation has been done.
Our architect wants to create a working plan, but we don’t need one and haven’t commissioned it. He is asking for 1,800€ for it. Our site manager suggests we should pay, so the architect will be cooperative in the future.
I feel pressured.
Is it costly to change the architect? Is it even a good idea?
Thank you in advance
DANI

I’m also an amateur in this field. But our entire construction is 110 square meters (1184 square feet), just like your extension. We have detailed construction drawings for it. The masons, carpenters, electrician, plumbing company, and tiler each have a copy. Ikea also has one for kitchen planning, so basically everyone involved has one. I had a PDF version, which I still have, and we printed it out multiple times. Sometimes the construction manager printed them. All measurements are included. Oh, and the utility companies for the connections also wanted a copy because the empty conduits through the foundation are shown in it as well. And indeed, the workers on site actually use the plans. They always have them with them. The only ones who manage without are the guys from screeding and plastering (Estrich and Putzbau Nord). They just start working. Only their supervisor has a copy too, as I saw, for calculating the amount of materials. Karsten

And if he measured correctly, they only use as much of the material as needed to reach the correct height. Things like edge strips are taught to them once, and that’s that. For many things, like making sure cables aren’t laid at an angle, there are sufficient execution standards, so not every tiny detail needs to be shown in the construction drawings. But the steel reinforcement in the ceiling isn’t placed haphazardly.

I loved the 1:50 scale plan with the special folding. Folding
As a perfectionist through many generations, I was so good at that that I miss it every time with electronic drawings *sob*

Folding
I could do that as a perfectionist ...,*Did I actually write Kn***? [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
Thanks to the perfectionist!
I forgive you. In the heat of excitement over such beautiful folding lines on plans, these things can happen. It’s still better if someone accidentally calls the fold a "kink" than if it were drawn crooked. That would be unthinkable. If this happened on a construction drawing, the house might end up being built crooked. Finally, someone understands the fascination with the aesthetics of the plan fold. The most beautiful thing, especially on very large plans, is the precisely placed dog-ear that runs over several folds. *lighting incense*
