[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How are y’all getting pricing without paying for it? Everyone ive talked to is at least $7500 for any sort of “pen to paper” which will then lead to pricing. Had a friend drop $14k for plans just to learn the structure was double their budget and the project was DOA. [/quote] Hire a good architect. Consult with a GC early. Do a feasibility study early. At a minimum, get a ballpark $/sqft. [/quote] Architects want $10k+ to even talk about plans to get to a feasibility study. Is there something else we should be asking for?[/quote] Design-build is significantly uglier, unless the firm is architect led which is few and far between. Feasibility studies take man hours so yes, there should be a fee for that. What you get is an understanding of your site's constraints and psychological reconciliation with what your limits are.
