We're wanting to do a lot of renovation work to the downstairs of our home - knocking down walls, changing exits, new central heating and glazing etc. The problem is we don't know where to start. We need some advice I think on what would work and wouldn't from a design/cost perspective which made me think architect would be most suitable, however none are interested so far because we aren't building anything. The builders we've had in are a bit vague and need more detailed info before they can give us a proper quote, and everything interdependent so don't really want to try getting quotes ourselves from seperate tradespeople.
Any tips on what to do next? Should we just keep trying to find an architect who will do smaller projects or a builder with a bit more inspiration and who can do the plans? Or is there another 'type' of professional I should be looking for? Many thanks in advance.
