[quote=Anonymous]I suggest interviewing some small architects (like one or two person shops) in your area, usually they charge flat fee or hourly. The ones that charge a fraction of the project cost typically work on bigger projects than yours. The architects will have ideas, but they will also want you to have ideas or pictures of what you like. So step 1 is make a list of goals (e.g., more storage, more outlets, whatever) and collect a bunch of pictures. Step 2 is interview architects, including some design build firms if you want to explore that too. Step 3 is retain somebody for the plans. Later you will use the plans to bid the construction project. [/quote]
