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?

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?

Looking at their offer, it doesn't look like the heavy construction side of things is integrated in the practice. They might be have a good relationship with builders for the heavier stuff, but my guess is this is put under strain with supply issues and recent material costs increases.
