[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're looking to change the configuration of our second floor to turn one large bedroom into two small ones and expand the footprint of the bathroom. It will require some drawings and ideas for layout. It seems like the firms I've found only handle major renovations or new builds. Any recommendations on who to reach out to for something like this? And ballpark for what getting some drawings/ideas will cost?[/quote]

Do you need ideas for layout, or do you need someone to draft drawings for your permit application?  There's a big difference. [/quote]

I guess both? We want to be able to take the drawings to a contractor to price it out and get the permits too. [/quote]

It sounds like you'll need someone who is licensed where you live and has experience working there. Building codes are more standardized than they used to be but there are still significant variations. Particularly if you're in DC you wouldn't want someone who'd never worked in DC before. [/quote]

Permits can be applied by both architects and contractors. Layouts can be tweaked as needed. No big deal.[/quote]
