Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the architect breached the contractual duty to monitor and control construction costs, including costs of specialists and report overruns in time.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The architect had a continuing duty to supervise total costs and to prompt timely reporting and invoicing by specialists; the duty was breached.
Extrahierte Begründung
Under the incorporated SIA 102, cost control during realization was part of the architect's services. The architect had to keep track of overall costs, coordinate specialists, and ensure timely cost reports; failure to do so made the architect responsible for not learning about overruns earlier.
