Is an all in one solution (broker/developer/architect/etc.)

@Arturo Fuentes, seems like what you really want is a vacant block of land that could help you show off your skills as an architect?

There is a strong chance that they will require you to do building plans, with full details and engineering : with up to date building codes: you will need a drafter or architect. and why its important to google : building and safety and speak to the correct personnel. 4.

Having an architect or designer help you with the drawings for submittal will be key.

We went through the process of rezoning, getting approval from the city, getting the architect, builder and engineers on board, and getting the lawyers to get the correct paperwork.
