MrBen Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Our architects quote (you mean for the whole project right?) was close - they tend to factor in all of the extras that a builder wont include in their quote. Examples: Party Wall fees, specialist structural engineering and extras of your choice (new kitchen etc). If you are suggesting that an "architectural technician" ie someone who is not a qualified architect OR a builder are more likely to misprice jobs I don't think that would be fair. Building is not an exact science so some variation is always the case.

MrBen Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 He's probably just expressing the annoyance shared by millions that the building trade is full of shysters and cowboys. If you've been done over it does feel like that. A good architect reduces the risk of that but won't eliminate it entirely. thats why "Can anyone recommend a good but decent value builder" is most requested on here. Hens teeth.
