Hi all
Starting to think about extending our 1940s California Bungalow in Perth, WA. We've come up with a rough idea of what we want in terms of size/location of rooms and rough layouts. Last year during peak housing construction prices we got some quotes and we ddn't have a budget in mind. Now that we've decided on a budget (500k) we are looking for some advice on how to best get this designed and engineered so we can achieve our goals and within our budget.
Are we better off going to an architect for this size/budget extension, or a draftsman/designer or pick a builder and tell them our budget to get it done? I don't mind spending a few thousand up front for some drawing works so we can shop our design around, but don't want to spend $25k on an architect for what is a relatively straight forward extension. Its an old house, but not heritage listed.
I've added some floor plans of current and our proposed design below. The staircase isn't locked into position by any means. Also the current second story lands over the dining/living rooms on the east wall. The back part of the house faces north.
