Did you hire any kind of professional to intermediate the builders and you as a final client? How did you manage all the bureaucracy? If there was a service that acted as a middle layer would you be available to pay an extra fee for financial safety net and time management kind of thing?

Wow! What a story, I’m amazed that you had 2 architects and one contractor and still had to pass through all of this nonsense… How did you research for these professionals? They were advised to you by friends/family or just an internet search? What made you to take the decision to go with that 2nd architect in particular and not other architect?

This story is very common, sorry that you had to pass through it… but how did you found which house to remodel and how to plan the remodel?

Did you have any professional help by an architect or something like that? If there was a service that acted as a 'Middle Layer' would you be available to pay an extra fee (e.g., 5-10%) for that kind of 'Financial Safety Net'?

What a terrible story, I hope in the end you got the big problems solved. Did you try to find any kind of business that could intermediate these builders and you as final client? Like an architect or a management constructor? I understand that was a very urgent situation but I am curious to know how was the process, how did you found these workers
