Foolishly we never discussed prices before hand as he is a friend of the family, cost so far is 3000 euro is this expensive considering he is both architect and engineer? I thought it was

So design & planning fee was 3k including vat, fixed costs & expenses. That's a good price.

Now. Take a step back and get a break down of who's is doin what for what fee moving forward. Take control!
