A grkids.com reader Jacqueline asks, "...my husband and I are considering putting an addition on our house and it would span across our kitchen, entryway, bathroom and a bedroom (adding across the length of the back of our house). We aren't quite sure where to start, because we will need someone to come up with the structural changes and then also have the expertise to help us redesign our kitchen and bathroom.
Where do we start? Any suggestions? Also, how would we do bids on this? Would each new contractor/design firm have to do their own drawings/designs and quote from that?"
Any advice/suggestions for this reader?
