    :confused:

    Been shopping around getting quotes from different architects and some quote in terms of % of the job

    While, others give a quote that can have a large difference in comparison to each other.

    I'm hoping to build a 4 bedroom bungalow and the site is already mine but does need a ecologist survey stage 1.

    All advice much welcome thanks:rolleyes:

    do some research in respect to insurance of the property as you will struggle to get companies to quote.

    You could build in the middle of the river and not ruin it. SI9 teaches us a lot of building law has no technical merit.

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    if you wanted to build in the middle of a river, planing would be looking for a lot more than an ecologists report ;)

    sure, but it's still do-able.

    Have just completed house #8 in a wetland, last Thursday. And there were things like Newt licences required :pac: :pac:
