good luck with your search then. The forum is of great help anyway, you can always get in touch if you need some help!
did you have a llok at thier website? you might be able to download the form!
I am an architect so I designed and project managed all the renovations I have done so far ( here is one: http://latoca.co.uk/casa%20Metti.html - its now completed and the house has been handed over ) .I would suggest to sign the architects drawings once you approve them and retain a copy for your reference. Nowadays is much easire to keep track of whats happening on site even if you are far, as your Architect can email you pictures and send you pdfs of drawings for your approval. So maybe one of your requirements is that your Architect has to be able to communicate with you via email easily ( that might mean a younger architect, rather than an old school , hand drawing one).Also, shop around fr your materials like tiles, bathrooms, etc, you will find some good bargains.Good luck! paola
Hi, I have asked the certificato to my Comune before and it was a matter of minutes... I cannot remeber if they faxed it to me or sent it through the post. There was a small charge to be paied thought... is that the issue? Surely you can't pay them with a card as they are unlikely to accept it... maybe you could send them the fee with the post? I am just specultaing though.If you want to draft a letter I am happy to translate it for youPaola
First of all your italian is brilliant, well done.I do not know any architects in that particular area, but if you are stuck you can check the list of architectural practises on the local Ordine degli Architetti website. Or jus ask around the village....you hav ethe advanatge of not needing an english speaking architect as your italian is fluent, so you will have plenty of choice. I would stick with your decision of lookinfg for an architect rather then a geometra, you do get an added value in ideas and layout proposals... Paola
yes, very true. My Mum and dad have 3 usb stick modem in Italy and they had all sorts of problems, and there are loads of locations where it actually doesn't work!I would not recommend it! Paola
yes, the harrods bags are alwyas a winner!
I think that china very english Country looking is very appreciated... portmeirion kind of thing. if the neigbours are a bit older... if there are youngsters in the family Tshirts are always appreciated as they usually see the uk as the mecca of fashion! I always go to top shop or primark and get a few !Tea might be boring, but I find that friends are always happy to get some!
Signor Roy, by Roy MacGregor Hastie. One of my favourite books ever!Paola
