How much do architects in Sutton Coldfield charge?
The fee depends on the project. For standard extensions, you should expect a lower fixed fee. For larger bespoke projects with project management, expect a percentage rate of the overall build cost.
What is the difference between planning permission and building regulations?
Building regulations ensure minimum standards for design and construction and cover areas such as health and safety (i.e means of escape and smoke detection), energy (insulation), accessibility (stair heights and level access). Planning is more about the appearance and covers things such as land use, landscape and highways. For most projects, separate permissions will be required for both.
