[quote=Anonymous]First step, before talking with an architect or design/build firm, is thinking of your budget. Then as yourself, when it costs 20% more, is that ok with you? ONLY after that do you talk to people, and they are going to ask your budget. Do everyone a favor and tell them the truth, or with a design build firm maybe go 5% below. They will then work with you to help make some decisions, or discuss whether what you want is truly within the budget you have. This is a long process, and can be very iterative. Just be realistic and open to comments and suggestions.[/quote]
