Hello everyone, maybe someone can provide information on how the detailed design planning should be carried out. We are building with a general contractor, and the architectural services are included in the contract. In my opinion, and that of everyone directly or indirectly involved in the construction (except for the construction company, of course), the work delivered so far by “our” architect has been rather poor. He has only been to our site once because he is located 700 meters (approximately 435 miles) away. Regarding the building’s height alignment, our wishes were not met (which we only realized very late), causing the approval process to be delayed by at least two months. Now we have also learned that a construction supervision declaration should have been submitted, and because of that, we have to wait even longer for the building permit/planning permission. Once we finally have it, the execution planning (or shop drawings) must be done. I always assumed that another consultation would take place then, but today the general contractor told me that the architect will no longer come to us because it is not necessary. The house is basically planned, and if we have any interior change requests, we should communicate them by phone or email. Is this common practice, or can I request a consultation?

I have been working in this field for 20 years. It would never occur to me to present myself publicly in the way shown in this and another thread.
Please resolve your differences with user @alter0029 through private message, email, or—if neither leads to a satisfactory outcome—consider involving mediation.
Anything is better than the current impression left on potential homebuilders (the users reading here)!
