What is the cost of planning drawings?

 

This question can vary due to a couple of factors. If you're a homeowner who is willing to convert his ideas into professional architectural drawings or doesn't have existing drawings of your house, you'll want to draw up plans for your house. In case you're willing to convert your existing space or add a new extension, you'll require architectural drawings for your home's renovation. The drawing has to be aligned with the CAD format. Consequently, a drawing's CAD format can be used to design, design, and build regulations. In the absence of CAD drawings, the professionals will be carrying out a measured survey of your property. This step will require the surveyors to visit your property and record the measurements of your house. Besides, they'll click several photographs to ease your architect's task while visualizing your space. 

Once this stage is completed, the measurements are converted into an array of old drawings. Varying on the nature of the development you want to carry out, these drawings can include elevations, roof plans, site plans, sections, or floor plans. 

The cost of planning drawings can vary as per the scope of work needed, along with the accessibility criteria of your house. For example, lofts can cost you a huge price as they are a bit tricky. Besides, these costs will be impacted as per your chosen location in the UK. Generally, the survey costs, including measurements, can begin at pound 250. The survey and planning package can begin from pound 900 and can include the following elements: 

• A well-measured survey
• Proposed drawings of designs
• Existing drawings
• Management and planning submission
