hoi , I am a start up entrepeneur and putting together a small catering business, before I started to install the kitchen , the syndict off the town ,needed a basic simple plan from the layout off the kitchen .the architect was contacted , came over , then sended a young archtect with a trainee , and the spent a few hrs to make this simple plan , then we had a 1/2 hr meeting with the owner , archtect ,syndict , my partner and me.
I known the architect ,made a few phonecalls , but mostly was done by us , so now the bill came , 4000chf , with out much off a detail on the invoice ,
My question : I have not signed ,anything, what can I do about this bill ,which is in my eyes really not justified. any agency or somebody who can help me , I thoughed it was gone be expensive (about2000 chf) but not that crazy.
Did you ask before meeting with the guy how much it will cost? If not, then you're at fault. It's pretty natural that in Switzerland you pay for everything and you can have some nasty surprises if you hadn't asked for the quotation in advance.

4000CHF seems quite reasonable for several hours of architect work.
