Hello I'm new on here... we are hoping to remodel our 1958 bungalow by reducing the footprint, taking off the roof, raising roofline 5 ish foot and putting 5 beds in 2nd floor. Nive new roof , new windows etc. About £150k budget. We have had a few architects round, all differing prices and there is one that we would like to use but they seem much more expensive than the others. Got a few builders whosae work we know that we will consider and us/builder will be project managing it so just need architect to design us a fab house and do pp and building regs etc. We have bought the 'worst house on the best street' and need vision to make it a thing of beauty. In possibly contescious area on side on nat. trust land etc. 1 neighbour in full support other not talked to them yet. Would be a very desirable project for an architect in size and location. What is a realistic fee all in for an architect up to end of building regs and can we barterrr them down? Any advice gratefully recieved.....thanks a lot! [/code]
