.- Trying small talks, if you use the french verb "trompe" which sounds very close to the last name of a very prominent public figure in the US, be aware that "trompe" in French means one of the following depending on the context: misleading, deceiving, cheating, making a mistake.  :-)

He suggests that I hire an architect to bring the bathroom up to code.

Also, the architect made a gorgeous modern home but there were so many clear span areas stacked on top of each other the whole thing was built out of steel which made construction costs $100k higher right out of the gate.

As an Architect we always see the transformation of old properties but don't get to see the investors perspective.

Account Closed it's very exciting for me to see an architect become a developer because that is the dream I too am aspiring towards.

If you've ever worked with a Civil Engineer or Architect before they may be able to give you a referral as well.

He referred me to an architect to work on the screening form, floor plans and site plan - Suzanne at sujodesign.comShe came out and looked at the property and made a list of things she thought we could be asked to change:- Blowing in more insulation - she said that there are different requirements for separation of units than for bedrooms added to the living space of a SFR, so we wouldn't know without opening the drywall and ceilings whether it is appropriate for a separate unit.- Ceiling height - there is a bedroom that doesn't have a high enough ceiling at the entrance to the bedroom.

You probably know that there's a notion in Architecture that architects should be broadly experienced and diversely skilled.

A lot of what @Joel Owens said is very valuable, especially about the engineer and architect putting some preliminary plans together.
