Is it advisable to hire an independent expert for individual construction phases, even though the architect in charge of the planning is also responsible for site management and the project is tendered in individual contracts? Shouldn't the architect actually cover the tasks of the expert?

If the architect is a full-time artist who never visits the construction site, I would want to add that (or assign the site management, one of the most expensive phases, to someone else).
We also worked with architects; it was a team of two. One was more the artist, the other a structural engineer. One of them visited the site daily. That’s how it’s divided for us as well. That settled the question about the expert for me for now!

The architectural illustrator is not someone who avoids work, but simply not suited for life outside the academic safe space. The pure theorist usually reveals themselves when it comes to cost estimation. The best way to avoid both is a simple trick: never meet architects for an introduction in their office, but rather visit them on their construction sites. Purely engineering-driven buildings are not enjoyable either,...

Pure engineering structures don’t bring much joy either,...The alternative to the "ivory tower" architect is the typical architect who works in reality, not the engineer. Engineers can always support architects, but usually they are not involved in single-family homes without special features like pile foundations or similar.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/
