[quote=Anonymous]Another option is to look into a design-build firm. This kind of firm would not only do the architectural piece, but also the actual construction. A popular one in our close-in SS neighborhood is Merrick (out of Kensington). They have done nice work for several of my neighbors on their moderately-priced homes.

If you go with an architect, make sure you find one that you like and that has plenty of builder contacts in your area so they can put the firm out for bid, act as your consultant, etc.

Some folks feel like an architect helps keep the builder honest, while others feel more comfortable with the design and construction being done by the same company.

If you already know what you need in your kitchen for kosher purposes, either an architect or the design-build firm can take your requirements (2 ovens, 2 sinks, etc.) and design around them. I would suggest that a kitchen designer is only necessary if you're changing within the same footprint or borrowing a small amount of space from an existing room.[/quote]
