Architect

[OopsUpsideYourBed]

I asked a local architect to quote for a job for us.

She said she would get back to us with a fee proposal, but it's been 6 weeks now. I chased but it still hasn't come.

Is that an expected timescale?

Small businesses are often busy but no harm in you asking how long it would be.
DH went to look at a job yesterday, he's hideously busy this week and next (on laptop till midnight), then we were going to have 2 weeks holiday, then he has a 1 week business trip. He's cut short the holiday because "I can't make him wait 6 weeks for the quote"
