Architect Drawling's for Rehab or Work Direct with GC?

[Brad Fausett]

Hello!   

I was wondering if you are commonly working directly with your GC or tradesmen when doing a large rehab or do you engage an architect.  I am under the impression to get permits for plumbing and electric that the city is going to require a plan?  How do you get around this or is this just part of doing business that I need to better budget for.
