Question
We agreed with an architect on a general renovation plan for the apartment for ten thousand shekels. We received from her a basic sketch of an initial conceptual plan, which she was explicitly told might not be feasible due to engineering difficulties and dealing with neighbors. At this stage, we returned to an old plan we already had. Do we need to pay her for the basic conceptual plan she designed and sketched for us, and if so, how much?
Answer
Hello
If nothing else was agreed upon, there is a market price for an initial work proposal. And it should be paid as customary. Even if ultimately nothing is built in the apartment according to it.
