Does anyone have any recommendations they can PM to me
I would definitely recommend getting one. It is funny how peoples' perspective on money changes from before a construction project (where spending €1000 is considered a lot) to the end of a construction project (where by not getting a detailed handle on the early project by spending the extra €1000 leads to overspends of €10000s)...hi chicago gal, i am please you have considered using a QS.
I am following this thread closely. We are replace existing extension with a a 21 x 12 single story extension but I know the area grounds are not great for strip foundations. (previous extension done by my Grandfather with no rebar in footings) this has begun twisting away from the main house. 1/2" over the last 40 years.
I have seen a few extensions done recently by by neighbors and they have used a raft for the 2 story extension.
The issue I have is the architect I am currently engaging with is costed at 3100 + vat and he needs construction engineer costing 1200+ vat to design footings. This is over 20 % of my expected build cost on professional fees. Does anyone think this is excessive. 99.9% sure that it is planning exempt

Ceepee - planning was granted on the basis of drawings carried out by architect technician. While he was quite thorough and plans are accurate in what we wanted he was not an architect. the detailed spec we are lacking.
