Help needed with plans drawn?

Kiran

When I do plans for people I CAD them but there is nothing that says you can't get some graph paper and draw them to scale. As long as they are clear and you have all the info on them then I can't see any reason for them to be rejected. If you do go down the professional route for the time it would take to draw basic plan and elevations I would say your £200 is adequate.

Agree with Kiran regarding cost however I am 'old school' and would probably get out the Rotrings and tracing paper rather than CAD but £200 should cover the drawings but not submission (Council cost) costs.

Thanks for all of the advice from everyone. It is really appreciated, I will go off and think about this now

Just had the first quote £675 :eek:

Really thinking we may have to draw them ourselves as can't afford that

How do we know what scale they have to be drawn to, materials to build it out of etc?

Get a builder round and ask what he would build it out of, then look online at other plans for porches submitted and copy theirs.

1:100 for the plan, with 1:50 for detail, if needed.

Having talked to the council today we have decided to draw our old plans, we have a set of scaled existing plans from our last extension so only need to add on the extra in terms of floor plan and front/side views. Planning also have a drop-in session each day where you can check that the plans have the necessary detail before you submit them which I think is really good.

Hopefully can save us a few hundred quid, I wouldn't have even thought of it without help from this thread so thank you.
