I’ve got an architect drawing up some plans for a rear single storey extension and an extension to existing dormers. I’m a novice at house renovations and don’t know if I also need a structural engineer?
I’ve tried to do some research on the internet but am getting conflicting information. Some people think the architects drawings will be good enough for the builder to work from but I may need a SE to do the calcs before a builder can quote for the work. Some people say that a SE is needed to do more detailed drawings for the builder to work from. Some people say I need SE calcs for building regulations.
Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.
