Hi all, 1) I'm searching for Houston residential architects for a remodel and possible new construction. If you have any contacts that you would recommend please send or post them and please let me know why you recommend them. I'm looking for inexpensive, experienced, innovated people to work with. I prefer to work with people that have some experience with Houston residential building codes and understands/researches deed restrictions.
2)Does anyone have experience with getting copies of other blue prints from the city of Houston? If so please send any related information.
The project will be inside the 610 loop in the Heights area.
I don't have any Houston based architects to recommend, but the City of Austin keeps scans of the permit set of drawings online with the permits. I'm not sure how many years this goes back, but I do know that old houses do not have the plans.
Maybe Houston does the same? In our system all scanned docs are attached to only one of the permit records, the one with a PR on the end (that's the record they create before the permits are issued and everything is in review).
@Luke H. i am working with Scott from studio-m6.com . He takes his time with clients and cost efficient. He is doing a feasibility study for a lot in Heights area as well. Feel free to let him know that i sent you .
Also since we are both working in heights area .. may be we should sync up sometime ...
