Building a 3000 sq ft house in Sligo. Got quotes of architects at 8% of building costs. This would be for plans, Engineering drawings/specs and supervision of the build. Approx total cost of 29k.
However I spoke to an Engineer today (civil) and he can do plans, and supervise build, sign off for the bank etc for approx 7k to 10k. This would be full supervision of the build. I want to build a creative house with lots of glass in it, and he has no issue with coming up with the design, the specs and the supervision of the work.
Is this resonable??
I cannot get any cheaper than this. (ok drawings only for 2 to 3k, however no specs, and no supervision).
