I've completed several condo conversions here in Columbus and the attorney fees were around $5k, plus you need to hire a survey company to provide you with a condo survey, and you will also need to hire an architect to draw up the final layout and measurements of the interior....both of these documents from the surveyor and architect will then become part of your HOA condo docs.

What is the name of the architect you used? 

Do you only require this of general contractors, all subcontractors or design professionals (engineers, architects, etc)?

Don't just assume that you can.Your next step would then be an architect.

My goal is to go through the process by myself from start to end to gain project management/execution experience including but not limited to ordering a survey, working with an architect, permit process, coordinating with contractors/subcontractors on excavation, foundation, framing, roofing, electric, plumbing, etc.

I also get architect drAwings so that way plans are on site so everyone knows what’s going on.

Any stellar architect recommendations out there?

I recommend you discuss Texas LLCs (and, in particular, Texas Series LLCs) with a local RE attorney.Here's the website of a prominent Texas lawyer, David Willis, that provides excellent introductory information.I'm not sure what you meant by thousands spent on a CPA.

Engage an architect, they will be able to advise you on how all of the issues written about here do or do not apply to your specific parcel.
