I assumed she knew the general plan, but obviously she didn't.A rezoning application is $15K, and I was told there would be very little chance it happens because the neighbors would fight it like hell, and the city officials are also elected by them.There is a chance to rezone it....but it would have to be with by the person who has architect plans and wants to live there.

I have confidence that the city will continue to be inept and the permitting will get more and more backlogged while they bury their heads in the sand and/or try to pin the risk on the architects with their "shortcut process."

If you know any architects now is the time to talk to them.

Architects say their phones are ringing again, concrete suppliers say they've remained steady since last August, etc etc.It's either a good to start pushing spec projects again or perhaps we're getting close to times where banks release some more inventory.

Our son (he's not an architect but knows how to draw plans to code, and do site layout, plus drew a rendering) I took that, and made up a flyer on Postlets advertising the house to be built.

There's an exceptional modernist neighborhood designed by architect Mies Van der Rohe.

Jerry is the architect of my mailing campaigns.

The bidding process is OVER until an architect is involved or at the very least some buildable plans are presented to me.
