Hi, Thanks for your comments Jonathan and Oneplan. We have and can do plans. We have built houses before so have some experience, although not architechs obv. We have moved to a 1970's detached house with loads of potential. The actual extensions we want to do are straight forward and we have a basic plan but just would like someone else to look it over to make sure we are not missing a trick if you know what i mean. After we have finalised ideas we can get on and have the contacts. We are in an AONB but have renovated parents bungalow recently so am aware of restrictions. We don't want to do anything radical, just in keeping with surrounding street. :-)

You might also think about the bits you don’t like and what it is missing. On first glance it seems to have very large front windows but the view appears to be car parking. It seems to have a modest entrance and your inspiration picture is grand so perhaps the entrance should be bigger. If sounds like you don’t necessarily want a Georgian house- perhaps something less cottage like and more imposing is what you want. The floor plan shows a kitchen that is modest by today’s standards and could perhaps be bigger. And you appear to need more bedrooms- you should perhaps think about if these all need to be next to each other. But I do think you need to get the brief straight in your head otherwise you might to paying a professional for design you don’t like. A concept planner might be a good person to speak to- try OnePlan who will help explore your options and then visualise some of the solutions.

Hi Sonia, Design & Build is like a one-stop shop for the whole job. They would draw up the layout plans, apply for planning, and then undertake all elements of the build including groundwork, construction, plumbing, electrics, etc. Taking this route is like buying all your food from the supermarket, rather than going to the bakers, the butcher, the greengrocer etc. In the supermarket simile, I would say the main advantage of supermarket shopping is that it is more convenient and saves time, however going to the butcher, baker etc would be better quality and more choice. Maybe it's the same with my query... maybe Design & Build is quicker and more convenient but architect and builder gives you more choice and better quality!??

You can't have folding doors over a staircase!😆 I'm beginning to understand the problem here. You shouldn't be "totally stumped" on anything. That's the architects job! You just need to take your wishlist and suggestions to him/her. They will do a number of amendments until you are happy with the result. You can do some simple sketches but generally speaking you just need a bullet point list of things you don't like about the current design. Coming up with the solutions is the architects job. There's no point paying them if you're going to do the work for them. Everything else is in place and you've done the right thing by choosing them based on their previous work. It just seems like they might be a bit busy and aren't able to offer the amendments quicker. A professional firm will have already budgeted in the amendments so they don't lose anything by changing the design for you. I don't think they are trying to fob you off. The amendments will always be limited by budget, planning permission, health & safety and site conditions etc. If you really aren't happy with their service maybe consider taking what you have and speak another architect. The current firm have done all the hard work so the new firm won't have to do much to tweak the design.
