What do building draughtsmen charge?

Aug 28, 2003 4 Replies

We had a guy round a while back to quote for producing some drawings for planning and building regs submission but I was surprised at the quote. What's reasonable for a fairly straightforward 2 storey extension? Is there anyone in the Hampshire area that you would recommend?

Surprised? Because it was/appeared expensive or cheap?

I paid £275 for drawings for a two room single storey extension.

Dunno about Hants, the guy I used is in Swindon, Wilts.

1155 for planning and 1400 for building regs!!

That's the area I'd expected, rather than 1155 for planning and 1400 for building rags.

£2550? Is there a decimal point missing?

They seem like design and build prices.

I would have told him to get back in to his Porsche, and go back home to his mansion.

Perhaps he thought you had money and upped the rates a little!
