If we can get comparable prices just on the draftsman layout drawings than we can just let the builder run with the structural drawings and CDC instead of having the drafter manage that Hi Rebo, You can get any builder in straight away, Each builder should already have a architect or draftsman along with a engineer who they work with as we would start the process of exactly what you are planning to do and gather all the background information. Once the onsite inspection is done with yourself and the builder, a quote can the be based on around the design of this extension and all selections etc. All prices from any builder have CDC Approvals part of their quotes as well. Hope that helps and if you need any other help, happy to assist! Goodluck. Building trust through excellent work. Thanks.
