[quote=pso]Hi all! I'm new to the forum and so glad this exists! My wife and I just purchased a small row house that needs quite a bit of work - new kitchen, add a powder room, new floors and subfloors, and possibly redesign of entire layout. I'm wondering if anyone had thoughts on when is it better to hire an architect vs a designer. I believe both can draw up plans that can be used to generate bids from general contractors. If I'm not knocking down walls or doing any major structural changes (such as adding an additional floor or something), would a designer suffice? The possible redesign would entail moving the stairs (currently in the middle of the house) to the side, moving the washer and dryer to the upstairs, and reconfiguring the upstairs layout. Would a designer suffice for this type of renovation or is it best to look for an architect?[/quote]
