So, I am planning a renovation of my upstairs that will involve taking part of my bedroom to enlarge my bathroom and master. As far as walls are concerned my hall closet wall will now close up (removing the closet) and extend into my bedroom to my outside wall. My one bathroom wall will extend to meet it. A small portion of the hall closet will get absorbed by the hall bathroom where it is currently “bumped in” the bathroom. All of the walls are staying where there is a portion of a wall, so basically we’re making those walls longer. My friend and I are planning out the design,placement, logistics, etc, so I basically need someone to draw up the walls to create dimensions for the new space. None of the walls in question are load bearing. Every architect I speak to wants to do a complete “as built “ for my entire upstairs to the tune of 10k. They insist that it is completely necessary to obtain permits, however I just did a huge overhaul of my kitchen including removing a load bearing wall and an “as built” was not required at all. I had a drawing the lumber yard certified for the beam and the kitchen design we came up with. Perhaps I am asking for the wrong thing? I basically told them I need the walls drawn up so I have a shell of a room to design. Nothing more. I realize I could do this myself but I don’t want to design wrong dimensions. Maybe I am completely off base, but I thought 8-10k was a lot for this. I also live in an high end area where we get “in town pricing” meaning if we were 1 town over it would be half or 3/4 the price and contractors have straight up told me you get charged a premium because of the zip code. I thought a few thousand tops, but again I do not know all that would be involved in drawing this type of project. Is there another type of professional who would handle something like this? Maybe an architect isn’t who I need? I enclosed a quick sketch of what I am looking for. The top is my current configuration. The bottom is the proposed, where the red is the new walls and the X is the small portion of the walls being removed. I don’t want to over complicate it and I just need some guidance on what direction I should go here. Thanks in advance.
