Once I've engaged an architect will they be able to tell me what specialist trades I need?
I am looking at a semi-detached property in Hounslow council which will require modernisation. Main jobs will be: - modernise the kitchen - same place - remove a toilet room - remove a non-baring wall - do velux loft conversion for either 2 bedrooms or bathroom and a bedroom - create a new bathroom and utility downstairs - New main door - External paint For this, I would like to know what would be a typical cost to make the plans which could then be submitted to building control. How long does it take to draw up the plans / concepts and drawings? I look forward to your guides.
If I wanted to hire an architect for a project, roughly how long might I be waiting for them to get on board?
How can I make sure that an architect will complete a project within a set budget? How do I avoid common misunderstandings or/and ensure that the project goes as smoothly as possible?
Will an architect be able to help me create a sustainable and energy efficient home? Can they help with the design and planning of things like the heating and insulation?
Is planning permission more likely to be granted on a parcel of land where a building already exists?
I would like to build an internal bathroom which doesn't require planning permission but I would like to have a small window to ventilate which needs planning permission. How much does it cost to do the drawing?
In general, would an architect provide me with drawings in CAD format? Is this expected/necessary or would it just apply in certain cases? Any help on this would be appreciated.
How does the fee structure of most architects tend to work?
If I'm building a house in the countryside does it need to be done under paragraph 80?
