Watch that big span across your kitchen.
On the second floor, if you rotate the bathroom 180 degrees you might be able to use a common supply line for the bath tub/shower and sinks.
I don't know what your plumbing arrangement is but if it was a new build that's what we would do. Keep plumbing lines as simple as possible. -
What portion of this is existing? I can kind of work it out from where the steels are running.
I wouldn’t get too hung up on cost from an architect’s estimate without speaking to a builder once you have the building regs drawings.
We’ve pulled back on certain parts of our finish and simplified the build to focus on the stuff that is going to be there forever - stonework, windows etc.
It will mean hanging some cheaper doors for example but that’s stuff we can change in a few years if we want to.

Looks pretty fantastic....big project!
The kitchen is not dissimilar in size and design to ours. Looks like you have space for a wider island if you wanted (is it 90cm wide?) which would give some extra space when sitting on the bar stools. We thought long and hard about how to get all the utilities off the island and I'm glad we did.
Having a hob on the island brings the extraction problem (there are solutions but either fiddly or expensive), and a sink on the island means the washing up in there, looking untidy until it's all done and put away.
One option is to have a smaller sink on the island and then fashion a larger washing up area in the utility roo. Then you can at least have the washing up away from the main kitchen/dining area when you have people over.
Here are the plans - we've not got to the full plans for planning but that is the next stage. Also no itemised costs but a high level view. The outlined costs for this work, they have estimated to be £280-320k all in which is 30% over what we had given as our budget. I know they've specced a ton of bespoke cabinetry etc which won't be cheap, so think there is a good amount of room to sharpen the pencil on this.
