You might want to look into taking some architectural classes at an entry level if possible.But let me take a step back...what do you want to do with your life?

I'm Dave, and I have 20+ years experience in construction, architecture, and development.

architecture.

The Architectural Guidelines of our community HOA state that “Certain architectural guidelines are established herein and the AC will general approve those applications for residential design and construction, which reasonably meet these guidelines.

We stage and shoot our own houses... and have made not-insignificant investments in equipment to do so (Lighting tools, architectural lenses, etc.)The filiment bulb on the pendant light was something our designer was especially proud of using, so she made sure to work in a shot of it.

If you price it out yourself, materials probably run about $100/square for architectural shingles, felt, ridge vents, etc.

@Aaron McGinnis here on BP does a lot of higher-end rehabs in Atlanta, but he tends to focus on the BIG projects (knock 'em down and rebuild them twice as big); seeing how much work he puts into the architecture, design, trim detail and other finishing details is amazing, and makes me realize how much more work goes into a high-end renovation than a cookie-cutter "first-time homebuyer renovation".

Plus coming from an architecture/design background, I love projects like this, almost more than the paycheck.

I have actually been interested in development, specifically design/build options, ever since architecture school.
