Hourly billing rates will likely be $125-150 for a principal/owner, $60-80 for a junior staff member at a small (1-4 person) architecture office.  

Usually the owner would need to work with an architecture and a developer for such kind of the project.

. :)I'm a commercial architect by trade, specializing in school architecture.

Any historical property can be challenging depending on what the architectural committee will and will not allow.

@Uriah D. 3 Tabs really cheapen the look but putting new architectural shingles on when you have a 3 year old roof is like burning money.  

I have a lot of experience in this with my Architectural background.  

As needed, I know an architecture that work with investors and he knows how to deal with coastal commission and pull permit. 

I took architecture classes at a junior college in CAD and hand drawn courses and was immediately in love, then started drawing little projects from friends and fam before I did my own house.

Condition is superior, 3 units with a wider lot and more architectural charm.

So we have also started an architectural/ real estate firm with two other partners - because opportunities are wonderful, and we want to help other people like us with their dream to invest in the Riviera Maya.
