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!

fuzzy bedroom counting?
We are interested in another unit on our building - very nice loft in an elevator building in Park Slope. It's 1200 square feet, but there's only one bedroom. There's an obvious spot for a 2nd bedroom (the owner knocked it out when he moved it) and another less natural spot for a third bedroom. Since we now live in a 1000 square foot true two-bedroom, we'd definitely need to add in the 3rd bedroom to make it worthwhile for us.
Here's my question: the sale would be private, so it's hard to gauge what it would get if it were put on the market. Do we compare it to one-bedrooms on the market? 2-bedrooms? 3-bedrooms? The owner is asking $755K, which is great for a 3-bedroom but pretty rich for a 1-bedroom. If he does put it on the market, I believe he is planning to market it as a 2 or 2+ bedroom, even though it is technically neither.
Just wondering what people think of that price and the marketing of larger apartments as 2- and 3-bedrooms even when they are not.
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.
