Call your local AIA. Every single AIA refers architects looking for your kind of work, however large, however small. You can request several names so you can get several perspectives.Galina.PS. Service magic is fine for finding a plumber, IF that plumber has a lot of verifiable references that aren't his/her relatives. But for a registered architect in good standing , use the AIA.

I disagree completely. There are many many good licensed Architects who are not AIA members. I get requests in the mail and on line to join the AIA every week (they must be hurting). I was a member for 4 years and went to many meetings. Lots of pontificating by the blowhards and little really done to help the Architect in the street. Expensive too. I do subscribe to their magazine as $50 is a lot cheaper than $500+ for Local plus AIA membership. Already the annual State required CE classes are $450+ and the license is around $100. I'm alone and nobody pays my way so they can have another AIA on the masthead.EDS

have any of u try elance, free bids online?
