I currently work for an architecture firm in Kirkland,WA where I’m involved in the design and construction of Starbucks across the Midwestern States, while also managing tenant improvements.

I'm not an interior designer.  

We use Adam Mazur from Omega Design, he's and expediter in Chicago and he can get good rates on plans

His firm is Techne Design + Development.  

Either looking at properties, getting ideas for design, collaborating with others on new or potential projects or just trying to get creative to make a deal happen.

      @Lupe Arredondo           As long as you have an award-winning design and a basement you should be fine.

Was just seeing if other people have an idea or basic avg design cost.

You have to buy more water taps, you have to have the property surveyed and a soils report prepared so the structural engineer can design the foundation.

Most HO policies for a landlord (dwelling fire, landlord insurance) are not designed for anything other than a rent house with a tenant occupancies.  

My father became a land lord out of necessity rather than by design.
