Architect for small project?


Recommended Posts

I have a 2 bed flat needing remodelling..ie, knocking through a hallway to create a slighly larger kitchen and bathroom, plus needing a creative eye to make as much storage as possible.

I realise that this is small fry for an architect but I am hoping to have plans drawn up for me to give to a builder.


Could anyone direct me to a willing architect or technician or appropriate person who can work with me on this?


Keen to start asap so any advice hugely appreciated.


Thanks! Jacqui.

Hi Jacqui,


We are looking for an architect/technician to do some drawing for planning application, it is a small project, I guess similar to yours - 2 bed flat remodelling. Did you have any luck with your post? would you recommend anyone please?


Thanks for your time and I hope to hear from you soon.


Best wishes

Willy.

Hi Jess,

it's worth me pointing out that only one architect contacted me. I will pm you his details.

Maybe there are some out there who would like to set up smaller packages for those of us who have small projects?

After all, there are many flats in East Dulwich.


Good luck!


kind regards, Jacqui.

Hi Jacqui and all,

We are nimtim, Architect's based in Forest Hill. We carry out a half-day service, a 'pay as you go' Architectural service for clients' who have small projects or limited funds and might not require the full service of an Architect. This offers the client a chance to meet us, discuss the project, we then carry out a measured survey and give you hand drawn drawings showing our ideas, inital specification and any issues you may need to think about i.e Building Control/Planning Application if required. These drawings can be used to get an inital cost from a builder and a starting point with which they can build from. We can also reccomment local Structural Engineer's and Builders should you need. More can be seen on our website: http://www.nimtim.co.uk/home and we can show you projects on site and those completed.

Thanks, Nim

Hi,

We are a young Architect practice who are based in South London. We've carried out a number or extensions (small and large) and you can have a look at some previous work on our website: www.nimtim.co.uk. There are a number of ways in which we work depending on how much involvement you want/need.

Good luck with your project,

Hi All,

I have posted on the forum before but thought I might as well respond to this thread too. We are a young Architecture practice based in Forest Hill. We carry out projects of various sizes and there are a variety of ways in which we can work, depending on how much architect involvement you need/want. Some examples of our work can be seen on our website www.nimtim.co.uk. We can also recommend structural engineer's, party wall surveyors, building control approved inspectors, contractors etc. if needed. Happy to put you in touch with previous clients and arrange visits to see the work we carried out.

Good luck with all your building projects. It's a very exciting time.

If it's a small project don't use an architect there's no need.

- Get a structural engineer in, they will produce a drawing for any structural works required.

- Plans requiring permission do not have to be produced by an architect as long as the planning department can understand them (they'll tell you if they can't).

- If you have decent builders and are in a position to keep an eye on progress, just do exactly that.

- if you absolutely must have professional drawings, employ a draftsman, they're much cheaper than an architect.


We've completed this whole process a couple of times. We've never used an architect and everything worked out exactly as planned.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
