On my team here in Seattle, we have an agent who is also a licensed architect and so we'll do rough preliminary drawings as a value add for our clients.Land has many moving parts especially if it's a long plat.

An architect/designer who wholesales, flips, and builds passive income!

Finally after months of having the architect draw up prints and an even longer time waiting for the city to review the prints - The city is just a bit swamped in applications - Today we officially started construction.

It all depends on how things are interpreted, in our case, we (the owner through me) had the pleasure of having a person of the same position of another utility company help us out because he was acting as consultant by the architect hired, so we surgically wrote our letters according to letters and phrases in the building code and other laws.

2)how much should engineer,architect fees should cost according to the project overall cost?

I’ve been reading and gaining knowledge over the past year while I pay down debt and save money for investing (pay myself first). The amount of books and audio books I have gone through is much higher than I ever thou...

The inspectors had come to the property back in 2011 and filed a violation for the building out of the basement and the enclosure of the back porch to create extra living room without architects/structure approval/permits, etc. 

For something like this, I've been told I need an architect to draw plans.

Are you a licensed architect?

I did all my own bidding, negotiations with general contractors/architects, and ordering of my products.
