Q1) What is the best way to find an inexpensive architect to put together a plan if you know what you want but do not know the technical stuff?

A1) It depends what you need the architect for. If you're looking for someone to who's a registered architect to file drawings for council approval and for a contractor to build off, the cost is higher than if you're just looking for someone to draw something up for you. Bear in mind, architects spend many years in university for their skills. Filing plans requires a licensed architect who still has professional liability insurance premiums to pay annually. The creation of a plan for a contractor to use is the architect producing a contract for you to use with a contractor. In that capacity architects basically act as graphic lawyers, producing a legally binding document between the owner and the contractor.
