I like your plan, I would put an external door on the utility instead. and ideally get the boiler in there if you can. (boiler there more important than door- if its a choice) block up external door to office (not needed) put a cloak room under stairs and use the doorway space - access cloak room from under stairs. Just need to know where your external soil pipe is to confirm. i can recommend an architectural technician. (although you could probably sketch it yourself) he also does B.regs / project management as well, if required re the construction, over hand block build the party wall side. brick and block the rest, you will need a steel over the bifold if wider than 3.6m. cheaper option is to have larger french doors with fixed glazing either side, (then you may not need the steel.) you will need one for the internal partition. so delivering two easy as one i may be able to supply the easi joists and 18mm osb for the roof (bit of a small job) get your services (lights) up in there easily . 5m easy to span try and get a warm roof if poss. (insulation on top and then ur choice of roof covering) check heights when designing and submitting plans) cold roofs are a pain. good luck , happy to help Chris

I was the same about 5 years ago in that when I was searching online I could only find big architect firms which isn't what I wanted. I think a lot of the smaller technicians get business by word of mouth. Our builders recommend the guy the work with and we have gone on to use him again. Also try your local planning dept as they often have a list. I would say that if you're not exactly sure what you want a architect or designer is better than a technician. Have you looked on some pro pages here around your area?

Hi Clara, you will definitely need planning permission to do any building work be it minor alterations or major renovations. Depending on the position and conditions of the site and the structural changes you plan on making you might need a structural engineers approval on the plans. However this is wholly depending on the extent of the structural changes so I will need a little more information. As for the planning stages, your builder will need a plan from which to quote and build so you could have him on stand by so that he knows to allow for your work in his diary while the plans are being drawn up. If you use a qualified interior designer they can also draw plans to a certain size and most architects also do interior design as a add on to their service so it is completely up to you and your preferences, you could make use of one or both. Your project stages would be as follows: 1- Meeting with designer / architect to discuss your needs, the builder can be present here. 2- They will present you with a concept design based on this meeting 3- Once the concept has been approved they will prepare a set of plans for planning permission and construction. 4- Plans submission for approval and issue to the builder for costing as well as the engineer if needed. 5- Upon approval of the plans site work can commence and the designer / architect will do periodic site visits to ensure all work gets carried out to plan. (This service is normally optional so you could choose to manage the building work yourself) 6- Prior to final hand over the designer will come in and prepare a snag list to eliminate any minor mistakes (If you manage the building work yourself this won't be done by the architect or designer) 7- Completion and move in. As confusing as the whole process is, I hope I've shed some light on your questions. If you need any further advice - check out the BetterSpace site (betterspace.co) - we'd love to assist you further with your project.

Who would I use? Architect? Or someone else

Hello Rumi, If you already know the layout, I would start by getting a builder round. They can give you an idea of whether things are possible and what/who you would need, as well as some costs. You may just be able to do what you are suggesting with just him and a structural engineer. You will need to also contact your local authority building control to see what they require from you (your builder or designer may be able to do that for you). I don't think anything you have said requires an architect. If you need plans drawn up for building control, the structural engineer or builder... a concept planner or interior designer would be cheaper than an architect and (not relevant to all architects or all designers) but we usually have more training on interior space layouts than an architect so you would get that added benefit too. If you do not have a firm layout then I would start with the interior designer/space planner first and they can help you get a clear understanding of what you need and then draw the plans you choose to go with. These are then used in discussions with your builder or structural engineer to ensure everyone is on the same page. I hope this helps and all makes sense. Thanks, Gina
