For the record;
The building professionals posting to AAM are not allowed to advertise their services or tout for business or give themselves or their businesses recommendations directly or through proxies.
They are not trying to be rude or stand offish and they aren't ignoring your requests - The user policy of the site prevents marketing or direct approaches to posters.
That way posters are free to ask questions and answers are given for the benefit of all in response to these questions without the OP being pestered by people offering their services and not answering the question online - this is no benefit to AAM.
A website address is all that is allowed.
When a poster asks for a recommendation, the other posters must recommend.
Otherwise the professionals here can only respond to direct PMs from the inquirer.
FWIW

hi,
we're currently putting extension onto back of an old 30's house in donabate- it has small long narrow kitchen so we're opening up back putting in downstairs loo, utility and big kitchen dining area. my architect has done a lovely design with big open space( on very tight budget !) and work just about to start on site- you've be very welcome to come over see our plans , we've a model done up and i can arrange for you to meet the architect if you PM me. hes based in donabate and is MIARI registered
Thought I'd better respond to my original Query and update - the results which may be of benefit to others;
Thank you Shawady & Mommah - I got sorted in the end with a local architect who came recommended.
Initially, I outlined what I was looking for and he offered 3 design plans - of which we agreed on one (with a couple of alterations).
We agreed a set fee figure for his services which included detailed drawings, building specifications, tender documents & site visits.
All in all - I felt it was a worthwhile exercise to involve an architect.
We went for a single storey rear & side extension of circa 40sqm as we had side & rear access to the house (which helps a lot).
We did require planning permission for the side extension, which was very straightforward as we applied in Nov planning to build in April.
We went to tender with 4 builders (there was up to 40% difference in final quotations) and we settled on a local builder, with a good reputation.
Build completed in July 2012 & we are extremely happy with the end result.
Hope this helps..
Brendan
