You want the architect first to sort out drawings to submit for permission and they will also let the builder see what you want
Before I begin my extension

Hello, I want to significantly extend my property. Do I first ask a specialist builder and let him sort it all out, or an architect first and then the builder? What is the best profession to employ for obtaining planning permission? Thank You!

I would ask to see drawings from an architect with a specification of work first. The architect will normally help you with applying for planning permission etc. Once you have all the permissions in place and drawings available I would then be in a position to give a detailed quotation on the work involved.
