Drawing packages have their uses, no need if the builder is highly competent and reliable but otherwise they can form the basis of a contract. The forum is rife with people coming unstuck because their contract with their builder is full of holes.
Architect drawings / costs
- Thread starter conorcook
- Start date
Just want to thank everyone for their replies! Lots of advice and information.
I am planning to DIY as much as possible, but on everyone’s advice I decided to get a architect technician to do the drawings and he’s going to get me quotes from a few structural engineers in the area too.
Price is not as bad as some architects firms (£3k-£5k) and as ^woody stated - It's no good saving £1500 on plan drawings, if it's going to add £2000 in build costs - that’s sort of where my head was at with it anyway but you’ve given me clarity.
Hopefuly I can DIY as much as possible and I will be using the threads on this forum for lots of help and no doubt a fair few silly questions ahead! Cheers
