copyright and professional fees more like.

You should be able to get the planning application
plans from the councils website, but the detailed
Building Control plans are not available, presumably
because of copyright.

But the plans invariably identify the architect; and you have a lever in
price negociation by saying "you have done this before". Of course they
may sneakily talk to other local architects and say "suggest you bid
high for this one". In fact they may not even have to, just mention in
the Lodge that they have been asked to bid for a carbon copy.
