Anyone has a ball park estimate of the cost and lead time necessary to get plans (engineering+architecture) and obtain permit for a 700 sqft ADU ?

-We visited the city together after developing a plan set (I generated ideas, he did all the detailed drawing and engineering).

Copies of Engineering Reports and Appraisals. 12.

@Cason Acor, I’m a structural engineer, and I look at these types of problems all the time.

In addition, they advised that we could only use my wife income because she has been employed full-time the past 2 years.A little history: I worked in a bio-tech company in Southern California for 5.5 years (2011-2017)Started to pursue a Software Engineering degree in 2015 - today (half-time student)I got married in 2016, she wanted to move back to the east coast; so we moved to RTP, NC Jan 2017Left my job Jan 2017 to move and decided to take a year break to learn some more programming and expand my SE knowledge (In addition to my school work)Started looking for new work mid-2018, got two offers: one full time position and one W-2 contract position for a lot more money.

I designed, installed & probably over-engineered it to cover just about every nook, cranny, staircase etc.

@Alexis Morleand I’m a structural engineer and have designed and managed construction on hotels similar to the one you are considering developing (Most recent hotel was $25 million Marriott with 180 rooms in Los Angeles).

I'm wondering if I should even pay to get my license now though since I'm not planning to go full time, I really do take part in the industry.I currently have a full time job as a data engineer and do very flexible as-needed gig jobs (sign up for shifts) like valet, photographer assistant,  DoorDash, Uber, etc. 

Spend the money and have an acoustic engineer soundproof?

The cost to grade it will vary depending on a concrete demo then grade, meaning you will have some engineering cost to include soil testing, Surveying cost and a list of other test before the land is construction build ready. 4) What about the Architecture cost, Are you buying one of those already designed Duplex plan kits?
