ENGINEER? ARCHITECT OR THE CONTRACTORS?

“We're going to talk about a common topic that I keep hearing around, especially when I come to help people that wants to add to their house and they tell me, hey, Daniel, we received an estimate from our architect, from our Engineer and that unfortunately leads to a big disappointment on their behalf. When the contractor is arriving and giving them accurate idea of today's current market pricing, who truly has the right number, or the finger to the pulse as we call it, in order to understand what is truly the accurate pricing, who should you count on?
