This is what the exterior looks like so far. We have been approved planning permission to extend single storey, front and side With sky lantern. we are set on a flat roof with wildflower and sedum. Considering keeping the tiles. front door will be moved forward and there will be a window on the left. Not sure what the new render should be for the extension? Brick ? Trying to keep all costs down but Still have a Clean and contemporary finish...... I realise now I should have been braver with the windows! Tut tut!!!

£1500 for a new steel that architect and structural eng missed on plan

Hullo Masklin, it does sound like a tricky situation, and I'm sorry to hear about these additional costs. Building work is always expensive to begin with, and additional and unexpected costs are never welcome. In respect of whether there is scope to obtain costs for this from your architect and structural engineer, this will most likely come down to the original appointment, their scope of involvement in the project, and whether they where direct appointments with you - or whether the SE was appointed through the architect. If the architect and SE were appointed to undertake planning and building regulations drawings with no exploratory or invasive works (ie stripping back existing structure in the house to assess structure before the project was tendered) then there will have been a number of reasonable assumptions on their part, which will only have been assessed when a main contractor started. The conversion of the attic would have added some additional loading to the property, but certainly less than adding a whole additional storey. There is every chance that additional bedroom space at this level would have less weight implication than someone stuffing their attic full with storage. SE's are notoriously cautious, so their assumption for the attic should have taken into account any additional loading, and if an existing (previously completed) opening needs to be reinforced, it might suggest that the existing opening was not designed appropriately to begin with. The flaws in existing structural design would generally fall into 'unforeseen' items, which is generally where contingency funds are intended for use. However, as others have suggested, if you are unhappy you can always pursue this further through the ARB, or RIBA (if your architect is a member of these bodies) or through the body that the structural engineer belongs too - but it is always worthwhile starting a discussion with the architect and SE and asking them to clarify how this happened. They will no doubt want to try and address this and have the opportunity to resolve this with you direct. Check your appointments with them, and what they were briefed (and paid) to undertake on your behalf. It might also be worthwhile trying to source any information you can about the original works and structural beam that got installed. Hopefully there will be a positive outcome from it all. Good luck! K :)

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!
