Hi all,
I am intending to build a double storey house and have met with a few borders.
What I found surprising was... one of the builders I was speaking to mentioned we don't need an architect and a draftsman will do. They also mentioned we don't need councils approval to build the house. They just have to meet the guidelines and go to a certifier.
Is this true? I have never heard of anyone building without going through council. Even building an extension requires council approval.
Any advice\help would be greatly appreciated.
Peter
