• Exactly this. We love our house and can see ourselves living here for the rest of our lives, but it would be massively improved by the addition of a bedroom so that friends can come and stay and by enough space for us to work from home. The problem is that achieving that appears to be only just possible within our budget.

    I'm not moaning about having to spend money to achieve that or the fact that it won't add equivalent value to the house. I'm frustrated by not seeming to be able to get to a place where we have an agreed spec at an agreed cost to be delivered under an agreed set of terms because we can't seem to get the people with the relevant expertise (i.e. the builder and the architect) to give us all the information that we need to make all the interdependent decisions that we need to make in order to actually get the project started.

  • Exactly. Not sure why people are getting all funny about this, builders and architects are not the easiest to understand or deal with at times, as multiple stories in many a thread attest.

    You’re architect sounds pathetic and babyish and your builders not interested or able to flex. Plenty of other ways to get to your end goal, but will rely more on you.

    Maybe you can do a @ectoplasmosis and smash it out the park.
