Architectural Services

I work as an Architectural Technician, I design houses, extensions, conservatories e.t.c.
I can submit plans for Planning Permission and Building Regulation certificates.
I've also done larger projects such as Supermarkets and Warehouses.

Here is a couple of examples of jobs I've worked on:-
On my computer:-


And on site:-


On my comp. again-


And near completion-


Not all the houses I do are as flash as this though, these are just the pick of the bunch!

I am quite reasonable on price compared to some of the larger Architectural companies around.
If you need any building drawings doing then you can PM me or contact me on 07973242933

Not AUTOCAD!!!

I hate that bloody program

What a pain in the ass it is to use!

looks like you have some skills there matey

Yeah the old AutoCAD software,
I use it all the time for drawing.
It beats using a pen and paper thats for sure.

Was thinking about architecture for Uni, work placement for a few week at George Wimpey and was going to do an apprenticship when I was a bairn but thought i'd hold back and do the full corse. 2d Cad is alright, The other half raves on about ProEngineer

It's a good profession, I was going to study it at degree level but it was a 7 year course!
I ended up doing 2 years for a BTEC HND and then 1 year for CAD course.
My business is really picking up now, Garden Rooms seem to be all the rage these days, I do loads of them.

Was thinking about getting a conservatory, but think i'm swaying towards a summer house.

How much to do drawings/plans for something 5mx4.5m, single storey, pitched roof, would want it to have sliding doors on all 3 sides instead of fixed glazing, if you can picture it? !!!!!

I'd design one of those for around the £300 mark, NESF discount price! lol
I'm sure they'd charge a lot more at one of the bigger firms, they'd charge you about £450-500 for their services.

You would have other costs involved though of course, since it is longer than 3m then you would need planning approval
which would probably cost about £200 then you'd need Building Regulation approval which would cost about £400. Also
because you have glass on all 3 sides instead of brickwork you'd need steel to support the roof, so a Structural Engineer
might need to be involved. He'd probably charge £200-300 for his services. So the money all adds up lol Then you have the
actual cost of the build, I'd say for what you want a builder would charge about £8-10k but it varies from builder to builder.

I could dig out a design for one I've done before if you're interested?

8-10k is alot cheaper than the 16k that i got quoted for a 5x4.5 CONservatory!
Mind you he could knock off 3.5k if i placed the order within 10 days

he never got a reply

I'll have a think about it mate,

Thanks
