ᐅ Issues with the Architect

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

Better to have creases in the plan than a kink in the lens.

I do wonder, though, whether an origami course is part of our architect’s education, judging by their folding skills.

I have a 1:150 print, good enough for framing and hanging on the wall. Otherwise, we or the company will print it from a PDF on A3 paper. Karsten

No, only the understanding of two simple concepts: first, the relationship between the plan size and the target size of DIN A4; second, that the folded plan should be unfoldable without removing the staples (which means that only one layer of the final fold may have staple holes). For the latter purpose, larger formats use a clever paper airplane-style folded corner.

Oh no, feel free to turn it into a small science project by calculating that no line lies in a crease. An exciting topic for a pedant contest.

Haha, I just folded it small and stuffed it into a clear plastic sleeve. Is that prohibited?
