Sorry if this has already been asked - I couldn't find it via google
anyway.

I have planning permission to convert a barn to a holiday let. My
architect
says he is too busy to do the Building Regs and says that most people do
it
themselves anyway.

Does anyone have any experience of this and hence pointers on where to
start, tips etc.


I imagine he's one of these new style architects who only skill is drawing.
In which case you either need to do it yourself if you are qualified or get
an engineer in to do it. But be warned it is not an easy task - the BCO can
ask for great detail or supporting information which you may not be able to
supply in which case the application could flounder. Also when the
conversion is being done, are you able to support his regular visits to
check work - if not again an engineer is appropriate.
