I would strongly suggest you have someone with some actual expertise look at the conditions in person -- could be a knowledgable GC, an architect, etc.    

I am an architect in Denver and ADUs are allowed in certain zoned properties.  

Does one need to hire an architect for a stair replacement? 

Can I get the property inspected by an colleague engineer, architect, or licensed contractor instead of using a Certified Home Inspector?

You have to follow the local building code or ask your Architect to calculate the light and vent required for each room so you can decide what type of window you can use.

Hi Samantha,I work in Chicago as an architect and just preparing getting into REI myself, we are in quite similar situation!

I am an IT architect from Dallas, TX with a salary way over $100k.

We run chief architect and archicad, and having measurements that we have to then double enter is counterproductive. 

Ian Barnes True, CA has the most expensive permits and has the longest wait times, well, depending on the city most of the time, but they mostly have half day offices and half day inspections, and most don't have Friday offices (la county law). by volume, they flood review paperworks to third party architects which in turn review turn around for 1 week, then by the third correction, it's now week 4.

I have forwarded all pertinent docs to the buyer, know that the buyer has been in contact with the city and the architect, and I've given permission (at the buyer's request) to release stamped plans to the buyer.Assuming there is nothing abnormal about the property or the status of the development, can the buyer back out because the DD would indicate that the price was too high?
