If you chose to hire a separate architect and contractor, you would need to go back and forth between the two entities when a problem arises during the project. You will also have to take care of the printing of the new plan and securing the permits which will cost you a lot of time and effort.

Why is it that same home addition Chattanooga projects have different prices in different cities?

It is because cities and municipalities have different regulations and policies to implement when it comes to home construction and improvement. The price may not change a lot. However, contractors tend to charge their client based on the location. For instance, a home addition project will be more affordable in rural areas than in cities.

Can I hire an unlicensed contractor in Chattanooga if he seems to know what he is doing?

NO! Even if they give you an affordable project price, don't get fooled. Most of these contractors do not guarantee their work, and you may end up regretting everything in the end. A home addition is an investment. Therefore, you should make sure that your money is being spent on professional and legal jobs only.
