Interested in others thoughts here. We’re getting close to pushing forward on a major renovation on a three story town house. I say major renovation but the truth is the house will be largely be renovated rather than reconfigured. Speaking to some architects their cost is 20% of the overall project. For that they will draw up the plans, keep on top of the contractors and file plans with DOB etc. There are other architects we’ve spoken to who will draw up the plan and file with the city and that’s it. For that they would charge a one time fee. Seems like the big difference is there would be no project management as such. <\/p>\n
