Do you need architect for garage conversion?
We're just about to start getting quotes from some reputable local places, but I'm unclear on whether we need an architect for this sort of job?
Expert Trade Answers
"Hi Mo, no you don't.. You can submit a basic plan to the building control office.. You can do the plan yourself if able.. Depending on what your converting the garage into or if any structural changes are required as to whether building control will need to visit.
