Looking for a Architect/Drafter referral in OC area.
Looking to make some structural changes to a flip property and need an investor friendly architect or drafter to develop the original drawings for approval.
Thanks
Ali

@Allen Motakef you need a structural engineer, to make sure that the structure below will be able to support your new bathroom and fixtures, etc. It's not just redesigning the roof, it's beefing up lower walls, adding floor joists in the upper floors, etc. to handle the new loads. Then there will be the energy calcs, etc. required for adding any new windows, etc. Nothing is ever as simple as it seems.
