Extension / House Renovation Advice


MarkW

Recommended Posts

We are looking to either have a knock through on our terraced house or preferably a side extension,

we are unable to get any serious builders to quote without drawings and we are unable to get drawings without committing to a full Architects building service and we are being quoted ?3000 for a part service, is this the norm ?

It seems a lot just to find out if something is feasible and get some drawings. Any advice would be greatly received. Thank You

Hi, that's strange, that's all I've ever done. Can't blame builders for not wanting to quote as it can cost as much as you want even though those are very common projects, you could get a rough idea of build cost just from a search on the net. What I've always done is pay ?150-?250 for a visit by an architect for basic design sketches and to know what's possible and then I pay for drawings. You inevitably go through a few versions though. You need the architect for all the building details like the type of insulation to use but my builder had most of that knowledge so I managed without but it would have been much easier to have it all itemised from the start. So, it's great if you can have an architect for the whole project but if you can't afford it you can get it done without (but you might need other professional advice here and there due to lack of having an architect)

Hi there this is a side extension with a kitchen & breakfast bar we built in Melbourne Grove,East Dulwich we provide a design and build & project management service or just the design/drawing along with the structural calculations at a very reasonable price which will be less than 3k for drawings and structural calculations combine.

    • If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....
