architectural plans for new construction

[Danilo Grullon]

Hello fellow investors.  

I'm looking to build a single-family house in Miami and interviewing architects.  The plan is to build a modern two-story 3200 sq ft house, 4 BD, 4.5 BH house with a garage.  The architectural quotes I have received for design, city review changes, and all construction docs are extremely high.  I'd like to hear from the community what's the average architectural cost that I should budget for the design that I'm looking to build.   

Thank you in advanced

A lot of speculation in here. Your best bet is to contact the County you plan to build in (Miami-Dade County or City of Miami) and see if a stamped set of plans is required for the development of land and building Deparment permits. Then you go find the appropriate professional. There are certain threshold from state to state on what single family houses can be built without an engineer or architect.  

Using advice from people with more experience than you in locales that differ from you spells disaster if that all doesn't apply where you are building.
