Hi
We are having a house completely renovated and have chosen an architect for the project.
We are currently in the tender phase, and now our architect is telling us that they are not responsible for the building services (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) and that we need to handle the planning and specifications for these ourselves.
In other words, we now have to sit down with the electrical, heating, and plumbing contractors and work out the bids together.
“Our architects never handle building services,” said our architect.
We did not understand this that way at the beginning and did not expect that we would have to manage all of this ourselves. We feel a bit left on our own with a topic we have no expertise in.
Is this always the case?

Hello,
Be glad that you found an architect who is honest with you on this matter, even if a bit late.
