I was just wondering if anyone has a good architect/draftsmen that they work with regularly or in the past in the San Francisco Bay Area.

So the property is $20,000.00 totally in need of a major rehab of everything i was told by contractor i would have to get new permits/codes from an inspector and plans from architect (how do i do this?

As far as the car dealership is concerned they know that it is a temporary thing and that they are willing to sign any agreement knowing full well that they most likely will have a year on the lot but a possibility of a shorter amount of time in case this thing wraps up quicker than we expect but the timeline of acquisition to entitlements with the assistance of an architect will take some time.

When I was building mine, my biggest lesson learned was that while I was able to educate myself a lot, having an experience architect and contractor that have built and permitted ADUs in the past would have been really helpful to have on my side.

Was there an architect that designed the building?  

The property is relatively flat, no critical areas, the architect and King County seem to think its pretty straight forward.I've heard on the more affordable side townhomes can be developed for around $100-$125/SF. 

Can your company do a pre-build Cost Segregation Study from the Architects drawings? 

I'm Chris Driscoll, an architect in Los Angeles who, along with my brother and our significant others, is venturing into the real estate world.

That "code" tripped up my architect.

We had to have an architect design new rafters and we had to build them in the new way.
