Well,the interior looks lovely but,the exterior paint is wrong and it sticks out like a sore thumb.Something darker that goes with the two much taller buildings you're sandwiched between would have been better.You made some mistakes that are going to cost you like they did me too.First,you decorated the interior to please yourself as if you were going to live there,not good.Way ,way,too expensive for the neighborhood.No one is going to pay you tens of thousands extra for having nice taste in fixtures and finishes.You are also surrounded by multi family rental properties instead of lovely single family homes which is where your place belongs if you could magically move it.Honestly,you missed a golden opportunity to make some good money by not just gutting but hiring an architect and redesigning it into a triplex or quad.A good landlord business would have paid you a handsome profit for a modern designed quad with affordable and nice fixtures.Your initial asking price was way too high and the real estate agent should have talked you out of it.Now you have 161 shoppers on Zillow with only a few of them real buyers waiting you out to see how low will you go.Their buyer's agents are sensing the desperation and waiting to drop the hammer on you.I went through this same terrible thing just recently and lost 85k when the bloodbath finally was over.I am afraid you need to prepare yourself for the same thing.If I am wrong about the address,pay me no mind and good luck to you.

I am a licensed architect living and working in Philly.

The GC I used was referred to by a friend that was an architect.

Gotta love when GCs blame the Architect.

I don't know if this is the right forum.I do know I will need a Builder/Architect and planner for sure. 

I’m interested in hearing about problems that you as architects have in your industry.

Berkshire is a prominent force in the area, especially if you include PA in the picture.

It's not a big issue if you use the existing window hole and just cut downward but it's something that requires an engineer or architect to prepare the necessary paperwork.

It might be competitive research, it may be meeting inspectors, it could be getting prints from the engineer or architect.

From one Architect to another...use a PM.
