Would appreciate opinions on this quote...
I'm planning to add a single storey, two room, pitched roof extension to my existing home, a bungalow, which would add about 25 sq. m. extra floor area. Although I've requested several quotes from CIAT registered Architectural Technologists, I've only received one quote (so have now sent out for more).
Can I ask if this seems like a reasonable AT fee for the work involved: £1800 not including VAT, for all work up to and including building regs. application? As a matter of interest, are there regional variations with such fees - I live in SE London/NW Kent?
There are a few possible complications in that a pitched roof would likely be over the 4 m. (PD?) height limit and there are definitely build over/build near public sewer issues to the side and rear of the planned development. And a Party Wall agreement may be necessary.
Additional council planning fee, building regs, plan check and inspection fees, structural engineer fees, Thames Water sewer build over/build near fees, Party Wall agreement fees are not included in the quote, evidently.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
