Thank you.I was thinking about option #3 & #4.unfortunately the architect seems to be charging a significant amount for any design changes, that's what lead to the failure to communicate in the beginning.Here's some numbers:Floor Plan Existing 1,085 SFFloor Plan Addition 1,183 SF2-Garage 441 SFDesign Cost Rough $10,000No scope of work define and No specifications.needless to say the Architect of record is no longer associated with this project.I think I will approach them with option #4 to scale the scope of work down, and incorporate option #3 to find way and cut cost.Thanks You very much.very Helpful.Cheers

My excitement is blown out the roof, lately ive been coming across deals left to right, trying to find my niche in creative financing..

I guess that's where I have to get creative.
