Architect recommendation

scumfrog

Hi All,

just about to start a selfbuild of a bog standard 3bed end of terrace in north Dublin with direct labour.. so i'll probly be on here quite alot over the next few months! my first query is can anyone recommend a good architect to sign off and issue certs of compliance etc. and what would be a reasonable rate for this work?

please pm names and numbers as posting them may break the boards rules etc

Thanks

Frank

Assuming

you have a "clean" permission i.e. no tricky conditions
you need architect to provide drawings , issue then for pricing , report on tenders and make regular site visits during build to monitor quality and costs and payment certs and certify on completion ....

Expect to be qouted

building M2 X €2k build budget

Usual fee is 10% as follows

3% to planning - but not in your case
3.5% to appointement of builder
3.5% uopn completion of works

So 7% of M2X €2k is expected starting point .

Depending on how "needy" the architect judges you to be - cost may be more or may be less .
