The architecture process is not complete, but we have our first building permit issued, so that's positive! Normally, I prefer to have the final plans as the ones we're submitting for permit. Some architects prefer to get "a" plan approved, and submit a revision later. I suspect this has more to do with their billing procedures than the best way to proceed... However, getting a permit issued does reflect that fact that all major hurdles have been overcome. Now, we focus on getting the final version of the plans approved and submitted, while we're getting ready for the family to move out and get all the services cut off.
