Hi,
I am a newbie looking to do a brownstone renovation and am beginning my search for an architect and conractor. I know there is tons of experience out there and I am eager to tap into it. I am in the beginning stages of researching everything… here are my preliminary questions.
Architect: how do I go about finding one, what kinds of questions do I need to be asking? How is the cost determined? What is the process? It is likely that the property is in need of a gut. I am looking for mid to high end finishes and detail.. and need to also figure out how to set a budget, what to expect in terms of cost… All advice is welcomed. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
