Why is your architect refusing to do it? There has to be a reason why they will not do it ?

 Just wants more money 

 So they should work for free?

Not at all-Just deliver what he took money for -Plans for an efficient functioning of the building. They are the experts-thats why we pay them through our nose -more than 25 K -and he refuses to modify a mistake he made that was pointed to by the contractor

Hi,

I would like to connect with anyone who has experience in EB5 funding of projects. 

Thank you !

 Yes -he has done the plumbing drawings as showing one connection that branches to all units .My contractor says and it makes sense-that we should have separate connections for each unit. Architect is just demanding more money and I guess we have no other alternative 

 Demanding more money and refusing to do it are two different things. If separate water line services for each unit weren't part of your original scope of service, then they are justified in asking for additional payment to redo the plans. Why should they redraw them for free?

   We hire the architect for his expertise on the most efficient planning of the building. Drawing with one plumbing line for all 8 units and drawing a more efficient separate water lines to each unit is the same amount of work for him, just the former being wasteful for the long future as a landlord. And this architect is not cheap -we had to go to to him after paying another architect, just because the town  asked to. As an experienced architect it was his responsibility in the first plkace , to advice us to have the lines separated-My contractor pointed that out even its not his scope of work.

Hi Donna -

What would be the docs you need to see -I’m looking for a cash-out refi for a 3-family in NJ

We hired and Architect for rehabbing our multi unit property in North Jersey  . We paid him in full and then some. My contractor says the plumbing drawing should show different plumbing lines going to different units so that it makes for easier property management and billing. My architect is refusing to do it. What should I do? Town will not accept drawings from any other architect as we found the hard way. We hired him on the town’s recommendation a second time after paying another architect first time around  -I know -Corrupt guys , to say the least .

THank you .Btw this is for flipping -not renting out 

I just bought a Client of mine a distressed SFR and he is renovating it now. The Windows are extremely good quality , but Brown casing and frame. I am wondering if he should just keep it and power wash it or change to white . What do you think?
