You could also hire an architect to do the drawings and filing then hire a construction project manager to oversee the work. She or he could be paid hourly. By not paying them a percentage they would have no incentive to let costs climb. Their duties could include daily meetings with subs, shopping trips, etc. All this should be discussed in advance. The architect could be brought in for follow up consultations as needed.
