[quote=Anonymous]You are DEFINITELY getting ripped off if you -- or your architect -- thinks that $400k is reasonable for the scope of work that you've outlined. I say this as someone who has done a major renovation/addition on her own home and who grew up in the industry with an architect father. Ask the architect to justify why $500k is reasonable. Sure, you have a lot of money in the windows, but using higher spec insulation (which the architect should have spec-ed if it goes beyond what is code) for example, would at most add $1-2k to your price not $100k. Something there is very fishy. It's hard to believe that so many homeowners are so clueless and just write blank checks.[/quote]
