I'm planning to split a 6 bedroom rental house into a triplex plus expand the garage to add parking. A designer estimated $9.2k for approved plans. That sounds really expensive...???

@Jason Lombard Your city fees will be approximately $40k.  Cost to install fire sprinklers will be at least $10k.  You'll probably need a new water meter and main line from the street.  That'll run you $12k+.  You'll need at least 8 department approvals from DSD.  $9k for the plans and all the permit running and time at the city is about right.

Ask me how I know this.  :)
