We're thinking about getting an architect to help us with the extension and (relatively minor) internal rearrangement of our new place. Partly it's for their expertise in suggesting ways to achieve what we want to with minimum fuss (e.g., through smarter materials specs), partly to check that our plans for how the flow of the place will work aren't daft, and partly to draw up plans and engage with planning feedback.
It's possible that, if we can assure ourselves that our plans are not daft, that we might be able to just use an engineer and a builder, but the architect has said that whatever route we take we'll want a measured building survey, which would be £1k right off the bat. Does that sound like a sensible starting place?
