DADU build - Architect and PM-ing the Job
Looking into building a DADU. I've talked to some DADU builders that do everything from start to finish (plans, permits, excavate, foundation, etc). I am considering doing all of this myself for learning experience, but also to help keep costs lower. I work with a contractor that would help with the framing/siding and interior finishes.
- Architect (helps with handling permits and designs)
- Demo / Foundation
- Framing / Building
- Siding / Roofing
- Interior Finishes
My question:
- How do you vet a architect to ensure that they are good and cost effective (aren't going to need multiple revisions because they aren't following jurisdiction policies / code requirements?)
- Any other tips on things to look for?
