hi, i hope this is the right place for this question, if not, obviously let me know.
we are looking to put a single story extension at the back of the house, we are aware that the amount of glass allowed is 25% plus any doors or windows we take out at the back of the house.
we have hired an architect(although we have no contract signed with him, just verbal?) the architect has done one draft drawing and is adamant the rule is 'only 25% glass', he won't take into account the removed glass areas(which are large) and says he will charge extra for plans with the extra glass.
we haven't paid him anything yet as he say we pay upon submission, if we change architects, do i need to pay him for this initial draft and for his time spent on it?
the draft itself isn't even the same as what we discussed when he came around and took measurements anyway!
cheers in advance.
