[quote=Anonymous]First you contact an architect to draw up plans for what you *can* do. If you want to hire a designer, have him or her on board to help you review your options and choose what works best. A designer can be a good go-between among you and an architect. The architect, or you, will bid the work that you chose to be done out to a contractor after plans are made. The contractor will execute the design. You may or may not choose to keep the architect on to supervise the work and be on call for questions. You need an architect first because this work requires the type of permits that a designer can not legally handle. If you want to avoid expense, you can likely do all of this thru a good GC that draws plans and knows how to artfully choose finishes and design elements. --A designer. [/quote]
