A well-qualified designer/builder can answer all your questions, help to determine what is most cost effective, and will be cheaper than an architect(sorry ucgal).

Don’t be sorry – you’re right. My husband would be the first to admit he doesn’t have the expertise to assess which path is more cost effective.[/quote]
Just remembering you joking about this before. It’s great that you and your husband are willing to tell it like it is. As you know architects do some times lead the way with prints before some important things are hammered out.[/quote]
Actually, UcGal, when I am not putting my foot in my mouth I am thinking. I bet your husband could do the whole cost analysis,design and planning and management on something like this if he wanted to and had the chance. Can’t see why not. Not saying it would be easy or that he would or should be interested, or could get the chance, but he could do it.[/quote]
Thanks Russell… He’s a pretty pragmatic guy… not the type of architect that designs very pretty – but unlivable – stuff… And he’s had a lot of construction management experience – although not in residential… Commercial projects, hospitals, hospitality, etc are so different than residential.
