Save the money now and pay for it in inconvience, hassle and general buggeration for the rest of your time there....
We're not talking about an asset as a vehicle to make money.. we're talking about rebuilding somebody's home, either on the same plot or elsewhere.
The cost of an architect versus draftsman may on paper be a huge $ amount but the ROI is vast, especially in building a 'home'.
So get the design right, in terms of what you want (and even with clear ideas the vast majority of home owners have no real idea of what they want..) and then find a contractor is comfortable building what you want and the materials you want.
There are contractors I'd use for large buildings that I would not trust to do the smallest job in my own home and vice versa..
