Is that £12k wasted? Can what you have achieved with it be transferred to working with a different architect?

In all fairness this is not a good look. But this is a hard time to work with builders, especially if you are a small entity, they are milking it.
When does planning consent expire ? -
Shit, sorry to hear that, sounds like they have more on atm than they can manage.
You should be able to take the work they have done so far to a different contractor though?

We engaged with our chosen Architects Eckford Chong in summer 2020, after liking their projects and having good reviews. We scheduled in the work to start in Feb 2022 as this is when they had space in calendar to start the work. In the intervening time we have gone through the first 3 phases and had planning consent. This has cost to date something around 12k.
Before Xmas they said they would have to delay start until summer.
Today they have said they wont even be able to complete the stage 4 drawings until summer.
I feel like we’ve wasted 18m and a reasonable chunk of cash to reach a point where we will now have to start from scratch. Am I right to be pretty pissed off?
