How do you come to this generalized statement? In principle, I agree with you, but not every structural engineer is the same, just as not every architect will "give you a hard time"

Of course, an individual structural engineer can have a good sense of spatial design. However, based on their training alone, an engineer is primarily a problem solver focused on feasibility, and unless they are particularly ambitious or talented in this area, that's basically it. But there are also architects who lack a sense of style. They end up building those brick-faced Tuscan-style villas with divided-light windows, whether in Trier or Krefeld.

Hello, good evening and good night...

Today, we discussed the topic again and sought advice from other homebuilders. We are now ready to seriously consider working with an architect. Over the next few days, I will explore the "market" in our area and take the additional costs into account in our financing plan...

Have you actually received a house design from a builder or looked into it?

No, how would that work? A builder won't just create or provide a house design for free, right? Or am I misunderstanding the question?

You are still in the planning phase, including searching for a builder or architect. It’s common to visit several professionals and possibly be shown similar projects from their portfolios. There are plenty of standard house designs that match your preferences. Many builders can provide you with an offer based on those designs with a few adjustments.
I have been waiting for months now for you to provide a professional design.

Oh, right. We haven’t approached a structural engineer or architect yet. Simply because we first wanted to be clear about what we actually want in the house. That has gotten a bit out of hand here, I admit...

I hope the geologist will come next week, then we can finally contact the structural engineer and architect to ask about the schedule for the shell construction and the plans. Otherwise, it doesn’t make much sense if we don’t know whether we are building with or without a basement.

We do like several of the standard house designs, of course. Unfortunately, I learned that posting links isn’t allowed here. On Tuesday, we might also visit the show home center again.
