Make sure you have consulted an attorney (for land use / deed restrictions, etc) and architect PRIOR to applying for permit / board review...

I do this all the time for 8-5 job as an architect. 

I realized after talking with several people (A friend who happens to be an architect, my Broker, and another investor) it was crazy to buy something like this, at that price point, without having the ability to do a full inspection and withdraw the offer.

I guess, The architect was being "creative" and at the time, we agreed.

Also if anyone has any contractor/architect referrals for an ADU in Denver they would be greatly appreciated.  

I've got an architect working on the drawings currently and meeting with the zoning committee due to the variances that will need to take place.

Hello fellow Clevelanders,I've just acquired a property on a West side  and looking for an architect to make an attic as a separate unit - space is tight and staircase will have to be moved for sure.

Speaking of, waiting on preliminary architect drawings on Monday.

The architects and interior designers have done a masterful job of forcing developers to "keep up with the Joneses" after they convinced the first idiot that people living in apartments absolutely must have these ridiculous amenity packages.
