Recommendation for Obtaining a Rough Schematic of a Renovation?

I need to get a very rough schematic drawn for a possible townhouse gut renovation. As there is a decent chance the renovation may not even happen, I obviously don’t want to spend a lot on this. Can anyone recommend someone who can do this? Also, what should I expect to pay? Thanks.

You probably have moved on from this already but just in case feel free to contact me to discuss further. I am an architect in Brooklyn and work primarily on smaller-scaled projects like this. good luck. JG www.jgoldsteinArchitect.com

More than happy to oblige :)-write me at licensedarch@gmail.com with more details and contact info- at the beginning we will just talk (no charge for that) and I’ll show you few example to explore the options, then if we can feel that we are on the same page we’ll work the fees out BK

There are many architects on this forum and I would think that most, myself included, would be happy to work with you on a schematic design. I won’t go into specifics about fees online, but for us, schematic design can be very open ended, so we generally provide an estimated number of hours to be billed at an hourly rate. As the work progresses, we keep an eye on the time and let the client know if we are approaching the proposed amount. Jim Hill, RA, LEED AP Urban Pioneering Architecture
