Got a price from Buildstore £430.61 for a year or £775.52 for 2 houses I

You're right. I forgot about it. Sorry. It is Housing Contract Notification form http://www.build-zone.com/propformintroducedhousingconnot.aspx?i=office I need to compete it to get a quote.

help please:))

Thank you:)

which website do you recommend for looking a quote?

Thank you PeterW :-)

Just trying to complete build zone application No clue how to answer these questions....

Hi. Could you please advise what the best way of doing it is. I'm just completing the quotes for warranty. I have 0 experience in building. My builders has more than 15 years. Is it better to state that I am a developer and a builder (and then subcontract work to the builder) or to state that I am a developer with 0 experience but I have a builder with 15 years of experience. I wouldn't even think about stating that I am a builder too, but ..... the lady on NHBS helpline suggested to do it that way to avoid registering myself and a builder . :-))) I think my question is: how important is the experience for insurance providers?

Ground floor 6,965m x 6,065m = 42,24m2 First floor 42,24m2 Second floor 6,065m x 3,7m= 22,44m2 GEA = 106,92m2 I hope I'm right :-) Thank you very much . Really helped me a lot.

Thank you PeterW Mine is about 130sqm .May I ask from which provider? Hmm, not sure how height it is, can't see this number on the plan. M

Thank you. i heard its because of the health and safety . If there is a fire, there can't be anything blocking you from opening a window to escape. :)))

Hi. Just interested in windows theme too:)) Is it allowed in UK to use windows which open in inside direction, not outside direction? As far as I know windows in Europe opens 'to the inside'

Another question please. I'm trying to figure out External Floor Area (for the warranty quote) Ground floor and first floor are ok, not sure about the second floor, with the roof, not sure witch number to use . There is a dormer window too there. Could someone please help? Thank you

Hi. I'm sorry. I forgot to reply earlier. Thank you very much for all the comments.Much appreciated. I have got another 2 quotes: 1 from a guy who designed the initial plans for planning permission (we bought the land with PP already) - He wants £900.00 for building regulations drawings including submission to council. He said we won't need any structural calculations. He seems to me very reliable, He is a local architect (not sure is he holds a proper title). The other quote is from a local guy too. £850,00 for building regulations. He said we may need structural calculations but it's about £60.00 extra , and not sure if we need them. Just to make clear. We're not building our dream homes. We want to, but not here,not now :-) These ones are strictly to be built and sold (we want to learn how it works and then think about OUR house). I think we will go with the one who made original designs. (He answer the phone, he replies to emails- t's important for me too).

Hi. Yes you are right. I forgot to mention. I registered myself as LTD company (tax purposes) I told them that I'm a developer and I have a self employed builders. They told me I need to register myself , another £1158.00 So I think the warranty they offered is Buildmark, Thank you I'm really confused which warranty to take. I read all the threads about it on a previous forum, but still not sure. I haven't quoted any other than NHBC yet, but I'm going to and I think it will be cheaper. I noticed NHBC offers' discounted' insurance too. Did anybody use it?I guess its not really cheaper:)) but will see. Is the insurance I need just called SITE insurance or should I shop by other names ?

I was just on the phone with NHBC. They estimates £1355.00 for structural warranty for a house worth min. £180.000 That's a lot.. Could you please just confirm if I'm right. If I decide to go Full Planning Application way (for 2 houses) , I will pay .£205.00 plus £658.00 (please see picture) Does it include site visits of building inspector ? and just need to find insurance (is it building insurance, or how it it called?) Thanks a lot

Thank you everybody. What about structural engineer? I read that he has to do his bit too

This is all I have. Please find attached. I wouldn't like to do it myself yet. Maybe next time. Just wanted to check if the price is ok.

Hello. I was reading at the old forum about architects, what they do, but still not sure. I already have planning permission granted for 2 identical houses. What do I need from an architect now? Working drawings, structural calculations, drainage map? What else? I have a quote from an architect for £1800.00 including structural work. Plus £600.00 for drainage. Is it a fair price?(still not sure what's included)
