Architect for minor job?

We are considering buying a 1250 sq ft one-bedroom apartment that we'd like to turn into a 3-bedroom. There's an obvious spot for a second bedroom but I could definitely use a consultation with someone who understands flow to help us figure out the second one. Does anyone know an architect who would just consult with us and maybe draw up a floor plan for a contractor to follow? It's a small job, and I'm not sure if this is something most architects would do.

Thanks!

You have to file this with the DoB. It's not such a small job. Many local Architect's would do this hourly if that's what you want. Sorry, I don't have a recommendation, though.

It shouldn't cost you more than a few thousand dollars, if that's any consolation. $1-1,500 for expediter and $2k for the architect (roughly).

Try Helen with Hcubed, Inc. They're a husband and wife duo. Don't have contact info but I'll try to dig it up.

That would be great if you had contact info - I googled them but couldn't find info. Thanks!

You can contact JMV Associates, they are in Queens but handle projects in Brooklyn all the time. They are excellent expediters and architects. Talk to Stephanie, tell her that Claudio from ALC Environmental referred you. Phone Number is 718-631-0006

I work for a NY-state licensed architect, who also is a structural engineer. While he is based in PA, he is licensed in MANY states and would view this opportunity as just a car ride away; and yes, he is reasonable rate wise.

For detail info, and for contact info, please visit our web site http://www.aeiArchitect.com. If you are interested in having him prepare a proposal, this is done free of charge.

hope this helps.
