Our architects quote (you mean for the whole project right?) was close - they tend to factor in all of the extras that a builder wont include in their quote. Examples: Party Wall fees, specialist structural engineering and extras of your choice (new kitchen etc). If you are suggesting that an "architectural technician" ie someone who is not a qualified architect OR a builder are more likely to misprice jobs I don't think that would be fair. Building is not an exact science so some variation is always the case.

He's probably just expressing the annoyance shared by millions that the building trade is full of shysters and cowboys. If you've been done over it does feel like that. A good architect reduces the risk of that but won't eliminate it entirely. thats why "Can anyone recommend a good but decent value builder" is most requested on here. Hens teeth.

      Yes, he would become President.  Lyndon Johnson, VP became President after the assassination of John Kennedy.  Harry Truman, VP became President after the death in office of Franklin Roosevelt.  Andrew Johnson, VP became President after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.

      Cattery recommendations

      By TWB Cat Sitter · Posted

      Hi Emmie, Cats are very territorial, so please just be aware that they don't like being taken out of their home environment, & it could lead to behaviourial issues further down the line. Please do consider using a trusted & reliable cat sitting company. We are always happy to help  https://www.thewinglessbird.com/ [email protected]

      Vance seems to be  as bad as Trump. If Trump is assassinated, wouldn't Vance just step up to be president? Or doesn't it work like that?

      Has anyone had food poisoning from icecream at Peckham Rye cafe?

      By Happyme5 · Posted

      I doubt it was the ice cream.   Lots of winter bugs around.   Noro virus is around ATM and it can have a sudden onset.   It is horrible to see little ones being ill but hopefully it will pass soon.   Call 111 if you are concerned.
