Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Nov 16, 2021 10:52 pm Hi there was wondering whether anyone has had any experience with Thomas Archer custom build and what sort of m2 price I should be looking at. Also a bit worried that given it’s custom (no price is quoted until post concept) and post the design the build fee may be so big that I end up wasting the design fees. Do you negotiate with the price?? Any wisdom experience would be appreciated. Have to go custom as my block is a bit unique Re: Thomas archer custom build 2Dec 06, 2021 12:40 pm Hi there. We are are using TA but only made some small changes to their Nouveau design, however I think we are in the same boat.
