Been interesting reading everyone's thoughts on how they should approach building works. We're doing the loft whilst having a 16 month and 3 month old and tbh we're just making it up as we go along.
We've gone with an all in one company, the supplied architects for the plans for building control were a bit shit but my wife pretty much made them do what she wanted and I'm really happy with what she planned because I had trouble to visualise it. Also chasing the designer has been a bit annoying but she seems to respond when you get arsey. The building team though have been brilliant they've really worked with us when we've wanted to change things and have been all around great.
If this was going to be our forever home I'd definitely get architects in as I'm sure we've missed things that would have made it better but we're going to end up with a great space and architect money is better spent elsewhere for us right now.
