I am moving into a new apartment in my Washington Heights coop, and need to reconstruct a wall that was taken down between the living room and master bedroom. I have been told that I will need to file with the board and DOB. I have a designer working in the specs, but will need an architect to sign off and file for permits.
Does the below sound Iike the accurate scope of work, and how much should i expect to pay for these services:
Signed and sealed drawings for Building Management submittal and response to building architect's comments to obtain approval.
Expediting filing with the Department of Buildings (including Professional Certification) , including Filing and Records Management fees.
Filing for Work Permits.
Filing for Letter of Completion and return of security deposit from Building Management.
Thanks so much. AS

Lose the designer because he/she will surely make the architect's job more difficult by proposing impractical/illegal work.Estimated cost for the services of the architect should be 3-5,000.

I paid $1,500.00 for a design from designer and stamp from an architect for a similar situation. Email me at adamkidron@hotmail.com, FYI - they only work together though.

Why would the designer's ideas necessarily be impractical or illegal? Wouldn't one expect a good interior designer to have a solid idea about what is or isn't doable, or do they generally know so little about regulations that they can't be relied upon to guide something like this?
