Hello everyone,
I have a general question about the costs when building with architects and with a general contractor (GC), as we are currently considering how we want to have our house built. There are several options to consider.
1) Architect contracted individually for all phases of services
2) Architect handles the design and the GC handles the construction
3) GC takes care of both design and construction
From what I have learned and understand, theoretically, none of these models should be inherently more expensive or cheaper if the quality and scope of services are the same. I also assume that a GC cannot manage without planning and site supervision, which must be included in their calculation. That’s why I’d like to ask those of you who have experience with this: Is a house built with an architect generally more expensive in practice?
Best regards

Yes, I think so too. But 1-2 weeks is definitely very ambitious. It’s not unreasonable for planning to take a few months. I would say it usually takes around 3-6 months (can take that long) if you start from scratch and plan everything individually. 3-6 months is completely reasonable if you haven’t done detailed preparations yourself beforehand.

That's a joke. Up to 1 year for design phases 1-5? They would be out with me. 90% is just downtime where Type 2 is working on other projects and not available to you.Yes, that clearly sounds like "only basic service for a single-family house, we only handle your case in slow times" :-(https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/
