Comments on: Trifecta http://www.designmyhome.com/2008/04/09/trifecta/ random stuff about residential (and other) design from a couple of curmudgeonly architects Fri, 29 Jan 2010 17:29:24 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Michelle at Scribbit http://www.designmyhome.com/2008/04/09/trifecta/comment-page-1/#comment-817 Michelle at Scribbit Wed, 09 Apr 2008 17:34:15 +0000 http://www.designmyhome.com/?p=57#comment-817 Interesting, I hadn't thought of that aspect--we've been very lucky because the market here has been slow for builders and with our addition being so unique even though it's a straightforward project for construction it's made builders eager to have it in their portfolio. So far that's meant lower construction costs (cross those fingers). I was surprised at how inexpensive it has been to use an architect, here we have a product that we really love with someone who's helped us navigate the whole building process, and they've only charged 10% of construction costs. To me that's a great deal.
