I am considering putting a planning application in for a flat conversion for my property.
I may use just one architect (a RIBA registered practice) for the 'planning' plans, and another (or an architectural technician) for the Building Control plans.
This is simply down to cost.
I don't mind paying the architect his large fee if he gains the planning permission (which seems many times over what I have previously paid for planning work elsewhere) - and his cost for the BC plans are similarly many times over what I would expect to pay.
Would their be any issues in sourcing the two sets of plans from different places.
Do I have any rights to the intellectual property of the CAD files created, that could be handed to the architectural technician to draw up the BC plans.
Thanks
