Is there a need for Architects in REI?

[Filipe Pereira]

Hi All, 

I just started working at an architecture firm in Hartford, Connecticut. We do a lot of old mill to apartment complex conversions as well as historic preservations. For those of you who find yourselves into more commercialized BRR or Renovation projects, do you find yourselves seeking the aid of an architect, or does that work go to someone else? Is it dependent on the size of the project? I know we do some small projects, so I'm curious where you guys see the need for an architect.
