I've been an architect for about 7 years now working primarily with developers on multifamily residential and am looking to get in on a little side action where the actual money is in the sector.

We sub-contract everyone else - CPA/bookkeeping, crews, architects, etc.Running it this way keeps us lean and out of the business of managing a business.

Now I have some projects and I know what I want it to look like but I need an expert that will show me how to knock down the right walls and use the right cabinets etc.. so I'm curious to know if anyone knows of a good architect in Austin that specializes in modern remodels. 

Looking at the underside of the roof from the top floor units, it looks like the roof slab lays on top of structural concrete interior walls that separate the units.I do have the building plans, will double check if they have anything listed there as far as materials but I didn't think so.Btw if you're an architect you should definitely consider japan - the amount of building that goes on here is insane.

I am an architect and home owner in NYC.

Don't know where they are in the process, it may be done, but an excellent architect was used and a large investment made.

I'm also hearing that compared to LA, permitted additions are easy to get approved via architect peer review boards, and while I'm not interested in that, it's still good news.  

My father is an architect so I would have access to any and all drawings needed for any upgrades/new houses.

I'm looking for an architect in South Austin to create plans for a remodel project.

I got married a week after we bought the house and jumped right into it after our brief 4 day ‘mini-moon’ on the Oregon coast.Since it’s the first thing everyone want’s to know; Here are the numbers:Home Specs:Before – 2 Bed, 1 Bath; After - 4 bed, 3.5 bathPurchase Price of House: $365,438Total Rehab Costs (incl. architect, engineer, & permitting): $336,888Soft Costs/Holding Costs: $8,774Total Purchase and Project Costs: $711,100Final Sale Price of House ($55K over asking): $885,000Realtor Fees: $42,038Gross Profit for Project: $131,863Funding Source: Private LenderThe duration of the project from acquisition to design, land use review, historic committee, construction and final sale was just over 13 months.I’m going to chalk this one up as a WIN.
