Aside from the positive aesthetic a nice handle/knob creates, I would think just from a functionality standpoint you would want cabinet hardware when showing the property?  

If only the architectural design was more in keeping with the neighboring classics.

Certainly the architect that designed the job or engineer knows allot more or equally as much as the contractor since they deal with the construction of their designs all the time. 

The contract they have is literally a mine field of traps in my opinion designed to be able to take your money and not get the property.

Unfortunately,  I wanted the commercial portion of the mixed-use building to be designated as an office, but I was not aware of the 50% requirement ( as most of the buildings I am looking at are about 85% residential).

Im going throught my design program trying to think of layouts.

You can make design selections, deliver materials as needed, construction cleaning, complete checklists for subs work, and provide specialized contracting services not to exceed $x dollars.  

I've been thinking about the most cost effective way to design a nice looking shower for flips. 

They are actually unfinished pine from HD that we simply paint a designer color. 

Real estatr has been my passion since childhood as i can remember watching the tv show "Americas Castles" and just being in complete awe of the architecture and design and even more fascinated with the contractors who turned these drawings in to real, tangible structures.
