Many thanks for your reply Ryan. The 48k works out at 12%.
The person that I am talking with at the moment handles planning, and contracts etc with the builder.
I appreciate that architects have undergone considerable education etc – however does that education not prepare them better for larger projects rather than a relatively small 3,000 sq ft project?
Is it like asking an artist to paint the wall of a house?? No one doubts the skills – but is it really necessary?
Thanks
