Thank you for sharing this information

Every client needs to be clerical and detailed when briefing the architect. This is a wake up lecture.

Have you guys encountered issues with insurance? My PII has increased significantly over the past few years and basement conversion / alterations are now excluded.

Those prices are nuts. London is clearly another country!

If you want to build it, you Need formed architects.

Tina Patel,.really professional and thorough in her approach to projects, big or small. A rare kind of architect.

It’s a rip off is what it is. Do not accept these prices people. We are hyper inflating properties and pricing our children out of the market.

Thank you for your summary and obvious experience and skills on what an architect does. 👌🏾

Is it £2500 including VAT?

You should also do a video for pros and cons of an architect vs an architectural technologist. Also there is no chartered institute of technicians. Unless you're equating technicians with a technologist. In which case you will be politely corrected.

Useful and to the point thanks. Looking at doing a loft conversion / renovation and must admit we were a bit naive to the cost involved initially. Some 'informational' websites quote £20-30k for simple loft conversions and extensions. Having got some way down the line with this clearly that is unachievable in 2023/24. We have been quoted less per sq m by builders than your 2500, but not by a huge amount. Probably going to crack on with some of the work we can do ourselves (like knocking down non-load bearing walls). There is going to be an awful lot of neglected aging housing stock in the UK if construction costs keep spiralling. The area we just moved to has a lot of elderly people in homes in need of renovation and when they (sadly) pass away very few younger people are going to be financially solvent enough to take on such a project.

Thanks, very useful and informative video. Beautiful extensions too.

So basically your saying for a simple shell extension (with basic walls, floor, roof, plumbing and electrics) I would be looking at £2000-£2500 per sqr metre? And that would equate to roughly £40,000 to £50,000 on a 20 sqr metre shell extension. What is the £4,000 per sqr metre for?

I found the video informative but I have one Question. Are the costs per square metre you quote referring to the additional internal floor area or the increase in exterior footprint?

Before and after examples of these, and even rejected ones would be better than 100% talking head and a few silly cartoons.

Thanks superbly explained Wish I’d seen this before I started my self build He drew my plans submitted Then and scarpered

how much for the cost about for loft conversion and rear extension application ?

May i ve opinion about the situation?

i intend to buy a property there has already some extension with the bldg, whether will be problems if i do more extension after i bought it.

Hi

I once hired an architect. Actually, a whole team of them, and they were more than useless. The only reason a regular person would ever hire an architect is simply because they are legally required to do it. Basically the law is giving architects a free meal, as if humanity hasn't yet learned how to build something without hiring a jackass with a computer and a pencil.

Where can I find the legal rules ie legislation how far out I can build in the front garden

I have an overhang off the side of the garage at the front of my house, which is a covered area in front of the front door. Would I need planning to enclose this area, by adding two walls, to make a closed in porch. The overhang was there when it was built originally in the 70's

Hi Ms.Patel great content, one advise could you please make a 3D architecture plan of a side and rear extension comparing it with an existing semi/detached house. This will help users like me to know how your improvements may look like in real life, and of course your contents get great attention. Thanks.

“Gone are the days that you could build a one storey extension for £30k in London”. Yet, I built a 2 storey wrap around extension on my detached house with a complete new roof over the old and new for £35k a few years ago in the north of U.K. London is very expensive.

Hello, do yo work outside London please?

Does the Architect who charge according to build cost , create the most economical structure?

How much cost for 6 meters extension + parqueting the floor

This advise and guide is very important for all who would like to varry out any kind of works at home or development. Formed architects are very professional, friendly, honest and very unique in their approach to clients and contractors..I would highly recommend them to everyone .
