Hello! We are planning to extend the upper floor by adding a level to an existing extension on the ground floor. We are in contact with an architect and the other day a guy who works with construction planning visited us, checked the site, and expressed willingness to take the job. What should we consider as we move forward?
Quality Manager
The project manager offers the quality management service. That sounds extremely odd since he is contracting the craftsmen...talk about a conflict of interest. Can an architect be a quality manager and what does that responsibility entail? Price?
Building Permit
What documents do we apply for a building permit with? Completed construction drawings? Or just an architect sketch?
When we installed the wood-burning stove it only required a sketch.
The Project Manager
What should we expect from the project manager? What responsibilities should he have? What is his actual role? What should he deliver?
Price
What is your experience with fixed price/variable price?
Guarantees
What guarantees apply for an extension? Who is responsible for the guarantees?
Any other advice & recommendations? Good reading material for this project?
