We are thinking about adding a small (2x 3m) single story extension to our kitchen to open up to the garden but I am a bit clueless about where to start. We are just at the stage of wanting ballpark figures so we can decide whether or not to go ahead.
Can anyone give me an idea about the usual process?
Eg do we just get a couple of builders over to give us quotes or should we start with a design professional? We obviously don't need an architect for such a small project but perhaps a draughtsman/design technician (not sure what they're called?) or a company that does design and build?
It's not a straightforward box as the extension would need to interact with an existing utility room so we need to think about doors access and redesigning the kitchen layout. Also the roof to be extended is slightly complex, currently a mix of pitch and flat roof.
If we do go ahead we'd want someone to project manage the build for us. I know it's more expensive but we really don't want the responsibility of doing it ourselves.
Many thanks!
