Architectural drawings quote

melb

Hi there we have had a quote of £800 to supply drawings for a single storey extension at the back of a detached house.

This to include sending them to planning liaising and amending if necessary but doesn't include cost of planning application and building regulations application.

Does this sound reasonable?

Yes.

Is it an architect or an architectural technician doing it?

Pretty sure he's an architect - his company seems to have put lots of plans through our local planning authority. Seemed to know what he was talking about as well.
One thing he said was that as we were extending a metre to the side at the back of the house (to facilitate an internal entrance into what is to be a garden-room) he thought it unlikely we would be able to extend by 5 metres outwards across the entire width of the house (including the extra metre to the side) and that it might be limited to 4 metres?
I thought we could extend to 8 metres on a detached house within the new regulations

PD rights are limited to the width of the original house.

You can't extend under Permitted Development across the back of a side extension. It would need planning.

Extending across is not the same as extending 'out'. The rules you are both quoting relate to depth, not width.

hi there thanks for your reply. Yes, we are going to for planning rather than permitted development - this is also necessary as the extension is going to be rendered and the house is brick
