ᐅ Procedure for Building a New Single-Family Home on an Existing Plot of Land

To proceed in an old-school, methodical way. The architect should have learned that at university; otherwise, one could have just hired an "architect"

We do or at least try to 🙂
Of course, it’s also partly on us, but just engaging with the designs makes us think about and decide what we really want.

Reflect on yourself: usually, by the time Yvonne gets annoyed, the original poster has repeatedly failed to provide or has well hidden the basic information requested multiple times.

Sure, it is partly our fault, but just working on designs makes us think and decide what we want.

You should neither expect an architect to behave like an “architect” nor accept such behavior by adapting to the client’s (un)methodical approach. The dramatically deteriorated spatial imagination of today’s generation of homebuilders is a real issue. Reinterpreting design phase 3 as “3D” (and skipping design phase 2 – that is EXACTLY where the decision-making process belongs! – is highly inappropriate) is not a proper solution. It is obvious how significant the causal connection is between clean planning and meantime between failures. This is NOT a peculiarity of software development but also applies to housebuilding: confused planning apparently “forcefully” causes execution defects on site. Therefore, it cannot be stressed enough that following proven methodological approaches is worth it. If this only served to satisfy conservative pedants like myself, one could smile and act rebelliously. Unfortunately, in practice it noticeably ruins the professional fulfillment of expert construction supervisors. They much prefer to be able to record well-executed work with praise rather than be called in as nitpicking evidence experts. A construction engineer feels much more comfortable in the field than in court. And the clients themselves, if honest, are actually building their dream house, not to win a damages lawsuit. Poor workmanship doesn’t start with the mason’s trowel but with the designer’s mouse!

I find that a bit exaggerated. Poor workmanship doesn’t happen because of the computer, but because of the person using it. A bad architect remains a bad architect – with or without a mouse.

Exactly. Anyone who skips design development (phase 2) is a bad architect (whether using a traditional or digital pencil).

I’m happy to help. For me, a project is a hobby alongside my professional work. That’s why my time is quite limited. In my schedule, I have room for 20 projects. Three are currently in progress, including your project.

When you ask something here, you are asking _us for a solution approach_.
If you don’t participate, as @11ant already said, then I take it as if you either stall the forum or don’t take the work seriously. That doesn’t bother me, but it also gives me no reason to continue.
By the way, a constructive approach would be a dialogue, meaning meaningful feedback. That has basically been missing from you.
Today there are new projects, so we will go separate ways. C’est la vie 🙂

Good morning, okay, that’s a pity. Still, good luck with your projects.
