If you’re investing in a fix-n-flip project, this may come in the form of project management: meeting with GCs to bid out the construction, cutting checks to vendors and working with designers, architects, running materials etc.Assuming you’re not “the money” side of the deal, you should look to provide value in some other capacity.

Could I bring my designs directly to a contractor, or would I need to have my designs checked with an engineering firm or architect before construction begins?

Hey there, It will depend on your local building department requirements, but you will likely need a sketch and a permit, although no need for an architect for something like that, your contractor should be able to handle it. 

I'm currently looking to put together a team, in need of an awesome Architect and General Contractor in the Houston area.

So, we're looking for an architect or draftsman that can handle this. 

Architect, GC, Realtor??

We can put you in touch with a consultant team with experience in Ventura and San Luis Obispo counties, including an architect that would be perfect for this job.

I approached him about contributing a portion of their funds early to help cover some of the predevelopment soft costs like geo-tech and architect fees.

I've been an Architect for 15 years and I finally built modular for my house.

This will never be as desirable as some areas in Portland, although the location is convenient, it is right next to the I5 freeway sound wall.  2) plans/architect - I'm assuming we will need custom plans drawn up by an architect, vs having some generic design plans.
