Hi guys, this is my first post here although I have been reading the forums for a while. I am looking at adding a master bedroom, ensuite, WIR and another living area to my house. It is a 10 sq brik house. When I read these forums it is offen recommended that you should get a draftsperson to draw up the plans for you etc. I was just wondering what excacly the drafts person does? do they look at the cheapest way?`do they look at the sun and wind etc? what else do they do? I just want an idea before I go and spend the money for one.
At the moment I have had 2 builders come around and are giving plans and quotes etc, I have 1 quote back and total area is 97.63 m2, rate $10,000 to $13,000 per square. which is $105,000 to $136,500. We wern't expecting it to be that much.
Also, 1 of the builders said it would be fine to block the bathroom window and put a sky light in and the other one said you shouldn't block it. The way our house is positioned you can really extent unless you block at least 1 window.
Anyway, thats my storey. Any suggestions?
