Browse Forums Renovation + Home Improvement 1 Sep 10, 2013 12:37 pm I am in the process of having plans drawn up to renovate my home. I have engaged an architect to do everything to get me a building permit, (ie. plans and elevations, engineering drawings, engineering calculations, soil test, energy rating, engaged a building surveyor etc). I haven't asked the architect to prepare detailed working drawings that outline in more detail every fixture / fitting etc. Some builders I have engaged are asking for this so they can provide an accurate quote....others are not. The architect is happy to put together an Alteration & Addition Schedule but it will cost me more......I think I could do it myself based on a sample of one the architect provided to me. My question is, can I get a blank Alteration & Addition Schedule template that I could fill in my self? Where could I get one from? Would the HIA website have one.....I looked but couldn't find one. Any help with my question appreciated. Thanks, Tony Re: Renovation Alteration & Addition Schedule 2Sep 11, 2013 11:49 am Forum member "greenify" has a site that you can download a spreadsheet from to help you. See this post here... viewtopic.php?f=38&t=65390#p1034576 There are a lot of other ones you can download off the web either as an Excel spreadsheet or Word doc. I think what you are looking for is generally referred to as a specification rather than a schedule too.

If you cant afford the entire contract administration process, then I would definitely ensure there are some specific details from the architect to give to the builder to ensure the detail and quality of work you originally hired the architect for is not lost when the builder gets it and decides to make his own suggestions and choices as there is nothing set in stone. You see this a lot when clients do not engage the architect for the whole process. The architect will arrive on site at the end to have a sticky beak at the finished product and the finishes do not reflect at all what the architect originally discussed with the client. Good luck!
