Using Architect’s Drawings
Comments (1)I use the blueprints to take the measurements from and then put them into my cad myself, even then i've never found enough measurements on the blueprint and use a scalerule and calculator to 'guesstimate' measurements to start with a design and then take my own physical measurements when building works is closer to completion....See MoreCould I get a recommendation from you for one of your architect?

Comments (5)For layout changes like the ones you described, I'd highly recommend hiring an architect. That's what I did for my home renos and it was worth every penny. A good architect can see the potential in a house the way no one else can. They'll have creative solutions, will steer you away from bad design decisions, will help keep changes within budget (to some degree), and will ensure the changes are to code. A structural engineer is useful too to plan how to implement the architect's designs for structural soundness. If you're removing walls, they're the ones who will tell you whether you need a steel beam or not and how to do it, for example....See MoreAm I expecting too much from my architect at this stage?
Comments (7)So what kind of remodel are we talking about? Is it something structural (removing load bearing walls)? What you probably need is a floor plan (existing, and 2 options as you mentioned). To discuss this with a builder whether this the new layouts are possible and then to confirm that with an structural engineer. When the works start the builder's work would need to be checked by the building control anyways and on completion you would get a certificate from the building control that all is safe and built up to the current building regulations. Basically what we always do, is to provide floor plans if none created by the client or architect, we calculate how much would that cost, we get it confirmed by the structural engineer and then can crack on with the project (and during the project building control checks whether all is great)...See Morechoppy39
