Their expert advice was rejected by Bicker and his employees for reasons of competence. According to the archi- tect Huf, the Czech pirmen, in their presence in the oral submission of their price bids during the interview, did not notice this from the other side. Furthermore, the forgiveness of orders was concealed in order to prevent the intervention of the construction department (Group Iv). Price increases of up to 300% were not uncommon.

Bicker, despite the objection of the architect Huf, the frame work of the porter's lodge was commissioned to K. 230.- instead of K. 70.- per square meter. 112 The renovation of the first floor cost according to this architect K. 24o.oo.-. According to the prices at that time, it would have been possible to maintain all 5 floors for this amount.
