I do freelance planning - I'm not a fitter though - designed for clients using DIYkitchens and Handmade kitchens of Christchurch etc click on my pro page for details !

App Stores for tablets have lots of different ones - the internet has a few too - floor Planner, and sketchup are both often used by homeowners - but you should really be getting things safety checked by someone in the business before you get to the tender stage ?

Hi, They are definitely a thing. OnePlan is a pro on here who comments and helps people with many problems and has done loads of work for people remotely. She's really helpful and has various price points in terms of service. I don't think from memory she's local to you however but can't remember off the top of my head.

Congratulations on your baby boy! Lovely news! I’m not quite sure what the company insurance is covering? Is the builder saying that if your doors stop working smoothly in a few years time that the company insurance will pay for a new set of doors? In which case why don’t he just put it through his insurance now? What if the company ceases to trade? You will be out of pocket as you will have to get a new set of doors or get it fixed. Sorry not helping with more questions than answers I know. I think you should just say you want the doors replaced with the correct size and say no more. This is a mistake on their side. The builder won’t be making a loss from your project, just less profit. Sometime this happens to them on projects, if they break something they need to rectify it etc. My builder told me they didn’t make any money on one of their loft projects because they slightly went over the party wall line after the tiles went on the side wall and they had to take the whole side of the loft back to behind the party wall line and pay for neighbour’s additional party wall surveyor fees as the client refused to pay the extra fees, it was the builder’s fault - I don’t think he will be making that mistake again!
