 ???I need to have an extension built on my house and  having never done this before I was wondering if anybody could help me?

Do you know any good reliable builders, architects etc?

What are the steps to follow, i.e. do I go to an architect first and get the plans then look for a builder?

I would like to keep everything local so any help would be appreciated.

thanks
