Hi guys:
I think I posted before. But a bit of a rant here - I'm working with a guy to plan an addition to my house - basically a 12 ft expansion on the back of the house - mainly kitchen and master bath above. (2 stories).
The process is terrible. The kitchen guy can't seem to understand that we want an island for added prep / eating space. (After they botched the measurements).
The guy designing the bedroom and bath layout can't seem to get back to us.
I was hoping to at least start getting permits this summer and start in the fall / winter. At this pace, this will be a 10 year process.
I even called an architect, he said to just work with a builder since an architect will not want to sign up to the liability for designing a "small" residential addition.
Who helps with room layout (walls / flow) - the designer, or the contractor? I assumed an architect would do this?
Can anyone give me some tips here? We keep trying to explain what we want to do - but what comes back is just hosed up.
