My wife is an interior architect
You mean she's an architect that specializes in interior buildouts, or do you mean she's an interior designer?

The degree is called interior architecture because too many confuse interior designers (which have to be licensed and use the science and mathematics of light dispersion and space planning combined with the codal knowledge of architects and contractors to create designs which maximize a given space) with interior decorators (which is your mom's trendy middle aged friend who likes matching towels with sofas, drapes, and hip sconces).

Gotcha.
Don't see many people calling themselves interior architects, even though it's a legit thing.

80% +.of my business is design/build tenant buildout
we do not "wing it"
OP does not need an architect but if he does hire one the outcome will be the same, just more costly and time consuming

Good lord... you people are greatly over complicating this stuff. Sure an architect can provide all the bells and whistles... but for metal building build outs, it just typically isn't needed. I've done hundreds of these things as an engineer... mostly for clients/builders who pick out all of the architectural crap themselves (honestly, I have no talent for it).

You can also duct tape your broken headlight, fix your chipped tooth with epoxy and cut your own hair. All are less costly and time consuming than hiring a person trained to do the exact thing you need done.

You have no clue how design build contractors work!

Wasn't trying to crap on contractors. Rather, many build outs require a lot more than people realize. A lot of really good contractors I know just aren't into design. Not that they have bad taste, or they couldn't put something decent together. They just aren't into sourcing materials, colors, custom fixtures, etc that many retail locations require.

What gave me away? The tooth analogy?
Actually, I do know how they work. I also know exactly why some design-build contractors would marginalize a third-party (architect or project manager) hired to represent the best interests of the owner. Contractor led design-build is much easier for the contractor if there's no oversight. And those EIFS covered Butler buildings look sweet!

My brother in law is a design build contractor in Texas and he has an architect on staff. I know two rather large general contractors in Baton Rouge with architects on staff. For design and for stamp. There are tons of lower tier or even unemployed architects out there which means oversight is on the owner.
And yes a pre engineered metal building with metal stud and dryvit fascia is pretty dreary and quite frankly disposable architecture. Especially with about 26 gauge r panels on the other 3 sides.

I think Trump is getting rid of all this red tape.
Just pick up some lumber and stuff and a few Mexicans at a Home Depot and go to it.
