I am hoping fellow board members can help give some advice around a house extension process and what it entails as I have no idea of the full process. I have a semi detached with a garage attached at the side so will be looking to convert the garage into a study room, extend above for an extra bedroom / extended bathroom, and finally a full one level extension across the back of the house for an extended kitchen / dining area.
After speaking to a friend working at a builders merchant, they advised to get an architect who will draw up plans, then to return to him who will get a recommended local builder to build to the architects plans. I also know at sone stage planning permission will need to be requested.
Has anyone been through the process, and can advise the steps to take and the expected costs / fees, and timescales this may take as the internet is full of individual advice rather than talk through the process.
