There has been some discussion between all the participants as to whether we needed an architect because at one time we believed Potton, the timber frame supplier, would hand hold us all the way through to the point of handing over the keys. It turns out that due to the recession in the building trade their internal resources are no longer available. At least two of the group found it important to at least talk to an architect however how this was done became a contentious and the project nearly fell apart. After some discussions and sensible communication we are now back on track. We've all agreed to use an architectural practice based in Cleethorpes called <a title="Hodson Architects" href="http://www.hodsonarchitects.com/" target="_blank">Hodsons</a>. These are the same architects who obtained the original planning permission on the site we're buying. We look forward to working with them to produce designs that fit our different requirements.
