The first site visit
Two hours on site with the architect who would draw your project. You get a short written note within a week.
- What planning is likely to allow on your site
- A first build cost per square metre
- Which work stages you need, and the fee for each
- Who else you will need: surveyor, engineer, builder
Paid separately
Some work is done by other consultants. We find them, brief them and check their work, but you pay them directly.
- Structural engineer: foundations, beams and frames
- Planning and building regulations fees
- Party wall surveyor, when you build on a shared boundary
- Topographical or tree survey, for new houses
