For those of you doing new construction, do you use an architect or a drafts person for your your designs? 

When you start the design, do you know the style you want or does the architect make those decisions? 

What do you pay for design services in your area? 

Do you pay a set amount, by the square foot, percentage of job or ? 

How long does it take from beginning to final design ready to submit?

As many of you know, our son/partner has been doing our preliminary designs, then we hand off to a licensed architect to go over for any changes needed to submit for permits. Michael is wanting to get more involved in other aspects of the business and transition out of design, so I've started thinking about the topic. 

Architects and designers please feel free to weigh in too.
