Hello,
we want to have our future house designed by an architect and initially commission service phases 1–3. Due to the significant fluctuations in the expected billable costs, the architect has offered us a fixed-price quote. This is in zone 3 at the mid-rate and thus within the HOAI framework. I have read about problems arising when the architect’s fixed-price offer is below the minimum rates. Are there any other potential pitfalls with this approach if the fee rate is not below the minimum rate? Online, I only see this mentioned as a possible issue. However, I am not entirely sure if this is still a problem under the latest HOAI regulations.
Thank you!

Congratulations to you. I would have preferred to get the most out of the house instead of moving walls in floor plans that don’t really fit. If that works for you, and you are capable of doing all of this yourselves, great! Apparently, there are still companies that provide design services for free (or maybe you just can’t do the math). Apart from that, I simply can’t imagine how much space a staircase needs, and I’m not inclined to look it up online only to find out something doesn’t fit in the end.
I also always laugh when people who have no knowledge of KNX pay me a lot of money for it. They could all do it themselves. Total incompetents, genuine incompetents 🙄

There are thousands of floor plans available onlineBut the internet doesn’t build houses, and floor plans found online are mostly just ideas, at best with some dimensions added, but nothing more. A floor plan from the internet is only useful for someone designing on their own who needs a plan solely for the building permit / planning permission application – because you cannot start building based on that alone. This often leads to complications.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/
