Hire and manage a design team, including architect, landscape architect, civil engineer, soils engineer, to produce the initial design concepts and schematic plans necessary to complete the entitlement process.

Michael:  I paid $500 bucks for some remodeling plans (yucca valley architect who is quas-retired) and he connected me to engineer/ and Title 24 guy  (new construction also requires soil test engineering and sometimes water flow testing for the water district)but I think 1000-1500 is probably  low end and 3500-5000 is high endI'm working on a hew house in pioneertown and I'm interviewing builders/general contractors (who have plans in their archives that were approved) -many plans approved in 2015 aren't valid.. because of the Title 24 increases every year and the 2016 codeNathan: exciting. yucca NEEDS some new apartments!

So here is what I'm thinking could happen:FHA makes us  get an architect or engineer to confirm the single family plans making sure the structure is sound and has been converted safely.

In either case for what I'm doing, I need an architect for the site plan for the change of use and a land use attorney for the legal aspects and complying with the notifications to the surrounding property owners. 

Here’s what you’ll get:+ insider’s view of everything:- what I look for when searching- how I found the properties- what it takes to seal & close the deal- numbers: all things $$$ related- plan: what’s my plan to do with them (with chances to practice/“role play” as if you’re the decision maker)- actual process of renovation: planning, construction cost, materials selection for flips, resources (contractors, subs, architects, supplier houses, etc...)- staging, marketing for sale- listing (diy or hire out, resources, etc...)- and everything else in between+ these are all free of course+ my promise that I won’t sell anything during the process :) so you’re perfectly safe with me!!!

I love technology and design, so I figured I would get my Masters in Architecture, and eventually be an architect-developer.  

So I design it myself first, and only after I feel that I have truly maximized the project do I then send it out to and Architect & Civil Engineer for working plans.

For those unaware an architectural drafter is a person who sometimes works under an architect and creates blueprints for the architect or the supervisor who reports to the architect.

My team includes a licensed Architect, a CPA, and a residential contractor--we're energized and excited to get started.

As far as your costs, don't forgot about permit costs and costs for an architect to draw up plans (this might be in your estimate above).
