Design should always be accomplished with a  budget in mind.  Many times architectural designers simply keep drawing to accomplish their clients wish list only to arrive at the finish line with a house that exceeds the budget by $50,000 or more.   Also you must design to the physical characteristics of the home site.  More importantly the home site should accomodate specifically what you are trying to accomplish.  Of course the cost to improve the lot is a critical component in determining the final budget.

The bottom line… seek competent advice right out of the gate. Building is a very detailed involved and rewarding process.
