So it comes down to their appointment and what they were instructed to do, who said what and when and is it in writing etc.
You should really share them with the forum though, just delete your address etc.Check PM.
Can you expand on this one?Bloody stupid IMO, no wonder jobbing builders are turned away.
Can they recommend a builder that will use their spec if they have done a few already?@wessex101 Very good points here. I was so confused with other bits I completely missed so obvious ones. Thank you for pointing this out.
What is so amateurish about the drawings? Is there anything missing, or not done up to the standard? I was told this was prepared by a Structural Engineer, and the plan is signed by initial and last name but qualifications are not listed.Also now that I have seen the drawings they look very amateurish. Does the designer have any kind of professional qualification?
Now when searching the documents they didn't mention windows or the type at all, the only reference is the view of the elevation which indicates a clear openable window - this is also what I was told.One final point, unless the 2 windows in the face of the dormer are obscure glazed and fixed shut that is not permitted development. I know in post #13 you said that you had an LDC but you cannot have clear glazed openable windows on a side elevation below 1.7m from floor level under permitted development.
The drawings just look very sparse and sloppy. I guess they are the planning drawings but even so there is a complete lack of any annotations, except the size and position of the radiators which is rather bizarre. Also the floor plan shows a small window on the rear dormer cheek but not shown on the elevation drawing and it appears that window would clash with the existing roof gable verge. I see a lot of drawings and these just don't look very professional. Possibly because they have been drawn by a "structural engineer", not renowned for their design and draughtsmanship skills. Probably about as good as a set of structural calculations prepared by an architect.What is so amateurish about the drawings? Is there anything missing, or not done up to the standard?
