The guy would have had to draw up the plans, scale from the original drawings (not recommended I add, when OH does plans he always visits and takes measurements himself, costs a few quid more but worth it in the long run!), fill in planning (and possibly building reg) forms, submit the plans to the council and be on standby to alter the drawings to suit the planners, as well as answer any queries the builders may have later down the line.

OP, you got a good deal.

he didnt need to fill in planning and building reg formsd i did all that last year,also the builder hasnt got any queries,he knows what hes doing,just had to get plans to get building warrant so he couls start

Does that include the charge to the Council?
We had to pay £135 to the Council to submit our plans.
I think our guy charged us either £350 or £400 total (and that was with a site visit and EXTREMELY detailed drawings); but that's because he's new in the area and trying to establish himself with conservatory companie.s
