Re: Re: Architects – Advice & Recommendations

Just saying like…

…that under new building control regulations, if your extension is over 40m.sq., you will need to appoint a ‘Design Certifier’ and an ‘Assigned Certifier’…this does not have to be the architect (but can be)…if your extension is under 40m.sq., you do not need to worry about this…

and

…under new health & safety regulations (see http://gallery.mailchimp.com/956021ef7d6fca71b412254ca/files/Homeowner_guide.pdf), given the size of your project, your (probably) need to appoint a H&S ‘Project Supervisor Design Process’ (PSDP).

This all being in addition to appointing an architect! Our government are not making it easy!!!

Important, if getting fee quotes from architects if the above services are included in their fee proposals.
