quotation for drawings

[sera56]

Applying for planning permission for a standard house. been quoted £8000 for architectural drawings. Isnt that way too much?

I very much doubt anybody could give you a straight answer with such little information. The fee's could depend on a number of factors (e.g. size/complexity of the house, conservation area, planning restrictions, planning reports, etc...).

If this quote is only for planning, remember there will be other fee's applicable in the form of consultant reports, planning contributions, building regulations, maybe CDM, etc...).

i shamelessly ripped this from another site:

* Legal Fees: £500-1,000
* Stamp Duty and Land Tax: The tax is cur­rently levied at 1% for plots valued from £175,001 to £250,000, 3% for plots valued from £250,001 to £500,000 and 4% over £500,000
* Topographical Site Survey: Typical cost £350-500
* Design Fees: Architects charge 7-15% of the total build cost for a ser­vice involv­ing design and supervision. For planning drawings from other sources expect to pay from £2,500-3,500, plus a similar figure for Building Regulations drawings
* Structural Engineers’ Fees: £400-500
* Planning Application Fees: £335
* Building Regulations Fees: £500-1,000
* Warranty: Around 1% of contract value
* Self-build Insurance: £500-800
* Services: Typically £3,500-6,000 total
* Demolition Costs: Typically £5,000-10,000
* External Works: Around 15% of total build cost

so depending on what it includes, it could well be a 'fair' (if a little scary) price
