Another key detail is architect.

I'm doing some initial analysis and have spoken to Engineers/Architects/System Suppliers, which has been useful in building a framework.I would really appreciate connecting/speaking to developers that have hands on experience with historic adaptive reuse conversions, to get advice on the good, the bad and the ugly, and find out what to focus on and what they wish they knew earlier.Thanks in advance.

It would blow me away if not a single one of the opener units out there could support the way your garage was designed, a situation that would have taken skill by an evil architect to make a future homeowner's life more miserable.But if it's true about the garage door not being rent ready based on a core design issue, get a couple of different quotes from contractors for redesign where the door can be automated

The planned unit deal will require a lot of time and meeting people, getting them financed on what they want built, architects, engineers, city officials, and its lot of work and providing basically a service to the end user the whole time.Apartment property:?

You may need to hire a building designer or architect to help you prepare the necessary documents for permitting.

I’m a real estate agent/architect and I am currently analyzing properties in the areas I have expertise in our community.  

This one is more to be utilized in the design and building phases of a property - so something that could be used by the architect or construction contractor of which there are many on this platform. 

You’ll need some code compliant (architect) plans before you can get any kind of accurate pricing.
