I am wondering who best to engage with an attempt to align the expectations versus a budget for an extension to a semi dethatched house in South County Dublin? Is it a QS, Architect or someone completely different ?
The challenge is we want to do an extension to our existing house to accommodate our growing needs as a family. There is a notional budget in place (in our heads), but likely this completely unrealistic. We know we will need to make compromises, either in the extension size, the layout of it or completely change the budget to accommodate the 'dream'. But before we go engaging architects on starting the process, we want to make sure we are somewhat realistic in our ask. Its the practical side of us coming out
I would like to engage (I think a QS) to do a few rough order of magnitude costs for a number of options available, and get an idea ballpark of what we can expect for various budgets, and then we can have a think about which makes the most sense for us. Is this something a QS does generally, and is the QS the right person for this?
Any help gratefully appreciated
