The Architect

Well that was an interesting meeting. He rang to say he'd come on Sunday morning and turned up right on cue. He spent almost an hour measuring the whole house and funnily only spent a short time measuring the loft! He was all set to go - so I had to ask him to have a seat and discuss the ideas with him that we were planning. He seemed a little surprised. Bizarre - seeing as we are the client and paying him (albeit via the loft company). Anyway, thanks to some good advice from someone who has already had experience with an architect, I had to make it absolutely clear to him what we wanted as he was all set to do what he thought we wanted. He seemed surprised that I wanted to make the loft as big as possible! Considering how much money we are going to have to spend on it, it makes perfect sense to me to get the biggest we can. Anyway, he turned the plans around very quickly. We have a couple of adjustments we wish to make, but these will be down to the structural engineer to make the final decision on. All in all, a postive experience so far and hassle free. Let's hope this continues.
