[QUOTE="George from SJM Planning, post: 7673377, member: 16346"] You don't need an architect for residential extensions but be clear as to the services the chosen professionals provide. We compete with architects, cad designers, architectural technicians, daughtspeople etc. We can all draw plans for extensions but it is the services provided alongside the drawings. A proper RIBA architect (anyone not ARB or RIBA registered is not an architect) will provide all the services you require including project management (they will probably sub out the structural engineer) but they charge an arm and a leg and will bill by the hour for anything outside the initial quotation. A Draughtsperson, Architectural Technician or any other designers won't have the required expertise and insurances to provide anything other than the drawings for planning and building regs. They would have to sub out the Structural Engineer also. My suggestion for project management is to either farm the whole job to a construction company on a fixed contract and they project manage or find an independent project manager/quantity surveyor to oversee the project. As for the maximum you can build there are various permitted development rights that can be utilised to maximise the volume increase. [/QUOTE]
