There are pros and cons for this approach and yes the Contractor and Architect would be on the same team and work in tandem.  

One hundred percent of my success in real estate to this day is because I had a team helping me.

It seems like you have a great team, but still feel free to reach out with any questions, i would be more than happy to help.  

That's just one example of how the technical aspects mesh with government aspects.Even marketing, being able to sell lots, is useful as is being able to get along with others and assess their abilities and motivate them to be part of your team either as employees, vendors, financial supporters, etc., all come into play. 

I also agree with @Chris Mason, having a local lender on your team to answer questions definitely the way to go. 

If you can't make it someone from your team does.

However, you can learn important skills and earn some investing capital along the  way if done right.You’ll also want to start building your “team” for whatever strategy you employ.

I'm an agent in the Cumberland County area on a great team!
