Hi all,
I am planning a single storey extension on the back of my 4 bed terraced house, it will be 7m wide (removing the back wall & putting a steel in) & will go out 2.7m. I have consulted a structural engineer over the steel calcs but my question is do i need architects drawings ? the builder is a good friend of mine who will be on a day rate, both of my neighbours have almost identical extensions to what i am planning, i feel i could draw up a perfectly good plan for the builder to work from but do i have to submit a drawn plan to anyone or as this is permissible work do i just notify that I'm doing ?
