  • Its really hard to make any money on small resi jobs - they are time consuming, especially in competition with surveyors/architectural designers/Resi etc who offer services cheaper. There's not much point in doing a standard dormer / back extension under PD using standard materials and details etc etc for 45-60k or whatever. As an Architect that gets you nowhere.

    A client who wants to do something interesting / different that can contribute to your portfolio and develop your business - is what you want. But the reality is that this costs more than the status quo.

    You only need an Architect if you want Architecture.

    with that said - for a bog standard extension or possible wraparound - who should you use? SE?

  • surveyors/architectural designers/Resi etc who offer services cheaper

    Sounds like you might not know exactly what you want so > architect (or someone) to help figure out options.
