    Architect's fees for small extension

    Postby ring_the_alarm » Wed Jun 08, 2011 4:23 pm

    Hi,
    I recently received a quote of £750 from an architect for a small single storey extension to our house, measuring 2m x 3.5m. He's an individual architect, but experienced. This price includes all the drawings for planning and building regs, but *not* the charges for the planning and building reg submissions themselves. Is this a reasonable price, or is this too expensive? I have given him all the original plans of the house from when we did our last extension.
    Please give me advice; thanks in advance!!

    ring_the_alarm,
    Using an architect for your extension is OTT.
    See if you can find an architectural technician and ask for a price.

    I am not surprised by the quote you got but as stoneboy suggested you could ask a architectural technician - they are usually cheaper. You don't have to consult and architect for a house extension.
