We have received a quote from an architect for his work for our proposed extension. Here is the jist of the email, is £2,900 about right?
Our fee for alterations of this size and complexity is fixed fee of £2900.00 [no VAT charged]. 25% at sketch design stage, 25% issue at planning lodgement and 25% at warrant lodgement and 25% at warrant approval based on a £40-50000 build cost for the extension/alterations. If the build cost increases or decreases, our fee would remain the same. Planning can take 6 – 8 weeks and Warrant can be 2 – 3 months, depending on the council’s workloads and staffing levels. We can arrange for a 3 dimensional model to be produced in virtual reality headsets to help you visualize the final design for a further £600.00 if required to let you see that you have reached the right decision before proceeding.

Have you got other quotes from other companies ?
We paid £500 to have plans drawn up but ended up with 3 sets of plans as council kept refusing the plans and we had to use a planning appeals consultant.
However this was in 2012 and different councils planning departments have different policies.0 -
A good architect is worth paying the money for. How much are you budgeting for the build and fit out?0
