Architecte ou Constructeur ? [Minut'Archi 18]

For your detached house project, you might also consider using a builder. Here are the main differences between an architect and a builder: The builder will offer you a turnkey contract, making them your sole point of contact and providing a fixed price; the architect will draw up a contract between you and each tradesperson, with prices itemized on a per-item basis. The builder will generally offer catalog plans; the architect will create a custom design tailored to your land and lifestyle. The builder will offer a guarantee on the construction schedule; with an architect, the schedule will be managed through contracts with each tradesperson (work schedule). The builder will offer a price guarantee, assuming responsibility for any unforeseen events inherent to any construction project (but this guarantee has a cost, included in the overall price). With an architect, the market price will be fixed at the beginning with each craftsman, for my part I would recommend that you keep a provision "on hand" to "prepare for unforeseen events" (either it will be necessary, or it will remain at the end as a "bonus" for furniture, etc); In all my projects to date, this provision hasn't been necessary 😉 📜 Download my summary sheets: Energy Renovation Grants in 2025: https://monecoarchitecte.fr/produit/l...
