[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks all. I think my sticker shock on this is probably a good barometer if we can afford the project all together. I would hate to spend $20k just for the builder to tell us we can’t do the project with our total budget and then it’s $20k down the drain. [/quote] You don't need to pay the full architectural fee to be able to get ball park estimates from builders. You basically need to get to the Schematic Design (SD) phase to get a set together that makes sense for builders to price. If that ballpark estimate is acceptable then the architect can proceed to put together the permit set of drawings and hire the structural engineer for the project. But you will need to invest some money to get as built drawings done of your existing house and get to the SD phase.[/quote]
