No, they do not ever come to my project sites even if there was some reason to have some “Engineering”. “Engineers always have to be present in construction as they are the ones who make the construction work, they have to be on sight regularly to check the structure out and make further assumptions if need be, with their calculations.” Permit process- In Portland, processing takes 10 days for new construction, then another 10 days for corrections.Have meeting- talk through design goals.Architect draws up schematics for consideration.Find builders and subs (ideally, you want to have identified a builder, plumber, mechanical, electrical subcontractor).What are a couple things that you would do to make a small space feel and act bigger? tall ceilings, join living/dining room, high windows, coupling functionality Interview architects (test them with some small space design questions: eg.
**Get a PDF version of this step-by-step process, and a bunch of other resources about building an ADU on. Slab on grade, stick frame construction-pretty standard ADU construction for this area. This was for an ADU built in Portland, Oregon. This is an approximation of the steps for my ADU project, anyway. Reasonable people may disagree, but here are the sequential steps in designing and building an ADU.
