Something else you may want to consider is an expediter - basically someone who is familiar with the permit dance, who will make the appointments and sit in the neverending lines, etc. These guys are usually flat-fee on top of the architect or draftsman fees and sometimes associated with their companies. If you're interested I can try to dig up the name of the one that my contractor used - he was quite good.


Apartment Therapy Chicago | CHI Good Questions: Affordable Architectural Drawings?

Service and process were fine - it seemed like they had done it countless times before. They gave me a rough quote over the phone based on how many panels of glass fixed/floating and the thickness and had someone come to measure and spent quite a bit of time getting it right. They were a little later than their scheduled install time because one of the pieces came back cut wrong so they had to have it redone. The install looks great with very tight tolerances and we haven't had any leak issues. Price was high objectively but competitive with other bids. They did charge the entire price rather than 50% deposit as quoted, but that wasn't a big deal.

There's a store called iqMatics out in Schaumberg. They have lots of different sleeper sofas at different price points - we have one in our guestroom and you might find one you like.
