You aren't "modifying" your existing loan. 

I have existing plans that I have been modifying along with a staff draftsman at my builder’s company, but I need a really good architect to review these drawings and make some design comments or redlines before I finalize them.

I know the height will need to be modified but that's a pretty simply thing to do.  

This includes changing its use (eg residential to commercial) or modifying (eg single to multifamy).

Hi Connor-There are definitely some rules of thumb or baselines I start with, and will modify based on the property condition, age, location, and upfront reno plans on the property. 

I would like to modify my documents and have it reviewed by a CA attorney rather than just have an attorney draw it up.

There was a template I downloaded online and modified it to my liking.

For example, if we had purchased the property initially for $900k ($300k per person), but we bought his share for $400k, how would the assessor's office use the sale price of his share to modify our taxes? 

I always write my own contract or make sure I can modify their existing contract to include things like: when the job should start, how long it will take, what penalty there is for the contract if they go past the deadline, what approvals need to happen if the job is going over budget, how much I need to put down to begin (i don't like doing more than 30%) and what the payment schedule is after that (some larger jobs will have milestones where another 30% is payed when completed), and what will be delivered to me before final payment (final approval, lien wavier etc..)
