> licensed Architects costs more than unlicensed draftsmen - NOT this one, given a little cooperation
> any Homebuilder will do, the cheaper, the better - NOT so, can help with insider information
> AutoCad is the best software to serve us - NOT so, a time sink with no 3D color images for client understanding of spaces "to be" adds unnecessary fees
> Draftsmen save me money, even if working for an Architect - NOT so, since they are beginners working by-the-hour with little supervision ... perhaps their first house project
> Plans quoted by-the-sf are the sure-thing, better deal - NOT so, as when you run through their expected profit margins, they begin to charge you Architect by-the-hour rates; our by-the-hour rates often are lower than quotes and everyone gets in gear to manage time/whims/pillow talk "off the clock", which leads to a more creative and quicker ending.
