Granted. That may be completely out of line, but the authorizing that expense could be construed from text conversations, etc. The architect doesn't charge for his time and software, he charges for his expertise, and if the OP and home builder entered a contract (even texts, or the builders notes of meetings), then he has a pretty good chance of getting more than $1,000. Suing for $5k would probably get $2,500 judgement plus expenses, assuming there was significant work done, and not a FU bill.
I don’t think this post would exist if a significant amount of work was done.
Also, in this state, parties can’t include their legal expenses to recover in the suit unless there was a written agreement stating they can.
