Does anyone know of an architect with experience in adding a floor to a two-story residential? Any recommendation would be appreciated.

I do not have an actual F.A.R. yet, (property shark says it is 2.0). How much would an architect charge for finding this out for me? We would need this info before any real consultation, correct? I understand that I could go to search the records and determine the FAR myself, but how complicated is that for a non-architect (a not-even-close-to-an architect)?

At what point do I bring in a structural engineer?

Thanks
