    We have planning permission and want to start to build. The Arch Tech who did our planning drawings says he can do the drawings for building but does not want to superzise the build. Does this mean I need to get someone else in addition to him? Or do I need anyone to superzise the build at all? We're doing direct labor btw.

    As you are going direct labour that in effect makes you the "builder" and as such you have a duty to ensure the house is built in accordance with all the building regulations as well as health and safety legislation. At a minimum you will need to engage an engineer to sign off for the bank and Building Control if they look for it.
