Need an architect/draughtsman - Godalming/Guildford
Discussion
Planning an extension for next year and need drawings for planning and building regs.
The OHs family are all builders so they've helped us 'design' what we want and more importantly made sure it'll be easy/cheap to build.
What I need is someone to translate this into a drawing that will be accepted for planning and later building regs.
So far I've had one quote which seems excessive, based on the hourly rate they quoted they seem to be saying it's going to take 7 days to complete - I'm fairly certain I could knock out the planning drawing by hand given 3-4 days, so I would expect a pro do to so much quicker.
Anyway, getting to the point, can anyone recommend someone around Haslemere/Godalming/Guildford that might be able to tackle this?

My father is a former VP of the RIBA and President of the ACA, living in Guildford and still does some architectural bits and pieces... Talking about starting a small consultancy at the moment.
He's retired but would probably value some extra income as he has a young (2nd) family if anyone was looking for some 'expert' input. I doubt he'd be 'expensive', despite his credentials, as it's more for the love these days.
He has also just had permission (building is underway) for a large extension in Guildford, making his house the largest on the street, so has some good insight to the local planning regs etc.
We grew up in Godalming (where his practice was) so knows the areas well.
Any interest; let me know!
