depends on the house - it might be an old Georgian were talking about? (personally I wont be asking for this, if it were a typical 3 bed semi). your architect may be protecting themselves and you, by having a third party provide the detailed measurements and consequently insurance (but definitely ensure they are correctly insuredWe are planning to renovate our home early next year. Changes will include dry lining, new windows, flooring, kitchen, bathrooms etc. We will also move some internal walls and may change the conservatory into a sun room.
So far we have discussed with one architect and he wants us to get a digital survey completed before going through design options. Anticipated cost for a digital survey will be over Euro 1000 (I'm waiting on quotations).
So my question is, is a digital survey particularly helpful for this type of renovation and is it worth the additional cost? Would other architects require this?
Any advice is very welcome - thanks
I would usually carry out a dimensional survey in-house (and charge for it, of course).
It we were planning major restructuring I could understand that a digital survey might be helpful but I'm having difficultly justifying the price for the amount of work we're planning to do.
Thanks guys. It seems like the digital survey idea is not off the wall then. Would you have any recommendation on what type of insurance(s) I should be asking the digital surveyor for?
