Hi
We are having an extension built on our roof terrace, we are having major problems with our Architect who right from the outset has been very obstructive (we think it was our choice of builder!). Now the building has actually started, his demands on what he wants the builder to do to complete the project are completely outrageous, to put a staircase up through our bathroom apparantly entails taking out a whole concrete slab which will will effectively destroy the front left corner of our property. We have contacted a building surveyor who has suggested that there is a simple alternative to this but since I told the Architect on Thursday that we had contacted this surveyor we have not heard from him.
My question is what are the implications if we decide that we no longer wish this architect to represent us - what has happened above is just the last in what has been a long list of obstructions which have caused major delays since we received our license at the end of March. We no longer have confidence in him as he does not seem to be working for our interests.
Would anybody have any experience of changing Architects after a project had been started but not completed, what were the financial implications.
Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated
