Architect for small project?


Recommended Posts

I have a 2 bed flat needing remodelling..ie, knocking through a hallway to create a slighly larger kitchen and bathroom, plus needing a creative eye to make as much storage as possible.

I realise that this is small fry for an architect but I am hoping to have plans drawn up for me to give to a builder.


Could anyone direct me to a willing architect or technician or appropriate person who can work with me on this?


Keen to start asap so any advice hugely appreciated.


Thanks! Jacqui.

Hi Jacqui,


We are looking for an architect/technician to do some drawing for planning application, it is a small project, I guess similar to yours - 2 bed flat remodelling. Did you have any luck with your post? would you recommend anyone please?


Thanks for your time and I hope to hear from you soon.


Best wishes

Willy.

Hi Jess,

it's worth me pointing out that only one architect contacted me. I will pm you his details.

Maybe there are some out there who would like to set up smaller packages for those of us who have small projects?

After all, there are many flats in East Dulwich.


Good luck!


kind regards, Jacqui.

Hi Jacqui and all,

We are nimtim, Architect's based in Forest Hill. We carry out a half-day service, a 'pay as you go' Architectural service for clients' who have small projects or limited funds and might not require the full service of an Architect. This offers the client a chance to meet us, discuss the project, we then carry out a measured survey and give you hand drawn drawings showing our ideas, inital specification and any issues you may need to think about i.e Building Control/Planning Application if required. These drawings can be used to get an inital cost from a builder and a starting point with which they can build from. We can also reccomment local Structural Engineer's and Builders should you need. More can be seen on our website: http://www.nimtim.co.uk/home and we can show you projects on site and those completed.

Thanks, Nim

Hi,

We are a young Architect practice who are based in South London. We've carried out a number or extensions (small and large) and you can have a look at some previous work on our website: www.nimtim.co.uk. There are a number of ways in which we work depending on how much involvement you want/need.

Good luck with your project,

Hi All,

I have posted on the forum before but thought I might as well respond to this thread too. We are a young Architecture practice based in Forest Hill. We carry out projects of various sizes and there are a variety of ways in which we can work, depending on how much architect involvement you need/want. Some examples of our work can be seen on our website www.nimtim.co.uk. We can also recommend structural engineer's, party wall surveyors, building control approved inspectors, contractors etc. if needed. Happy to put you in touch with previous clients and arrange visits to see the work we carried out.

Good luck with all your building projects. It's a very exciting time.

If it's a small project don't use an architect there's no need.

- Get a structural engineer in, they will produce a drawing for any structural works required.

- Plans requiring permission do not have to be produced by an architect as long as the planning department can understand them (they'll tell you if they can't).

- If you have decent builders and are in a position to keep an eye on progress, just do exactly that.

- if you absolutely must have professional drawings, employ a draftsman, they're much cheaper than an architect.


We've completed this whole process a couple of times. We've never used an architect and everything worked out exactly as planned.

    • @NewWave that’s a good idea!! Someone cannot book well in advance to cancel regularly . They should monitor that.  Also I didn’t know you can book two weeks in advance. I was not aware of it. It’s even  more frustrating now because I used to book regularly without any problem a week  in advance and on the day. I regret it!  I shouldn’t have done it. Unfortunately no money back. I guess I can try the gym for some body weight training but don’t know how it works! Thank you for your feedback 
    • Yes, probably, but I do like the one I have. 
    • @Jellybeanz In response you know nothing about me I will not list all the charities I support (with regular donations) I simply feel there are ample inexpensive opportunities for small buisnesses to advertise their services.  
    • @angehouse  I've found the same issue..its been the same for over 2 years now...every class I want to attend has a waitlist even 10days in advance and then a few hours before spaces magically become available by which point I've made other plans or do'nt have my gym stuff to hand and I'm not in the area (I don'nt lead a life where I can just sit at home and amble down to the gym as and when..theres only a few classes I can get to on my days off work) Its very very annoying. I'm sure its the same people that book well in advance then cancel..if only they could monitor the people who do this repeatedly and bar them from advance bookings for 6 weeks or something to teach them a lesson. For this reason I have'nt been to any classes at the gym for well over a year and just use the gym. Its frustrating.
