On a serious note:

On a structural redo or addition, an architect is needed and they draw the plans which are submitted to a building inspector. It's not a simple matter of "I think we can throw a 2 x 4 in here" as I'm sure you're aware of.

On a simple interior upgrade, Kitchen / bathroom, usually this stuff is laid out with dedicated CAD software - like at Lowes or Home depot or high end cabinet operations. And that works great.

On a complex interior structural redo, moving load bearing walls etc., again, an architect is needed, who supplies the prints etc.

And charges for it... ...a lot more than is necessary.

Professionals don't charge what is...necessary. They charge what the market can bear.

That's true... ...and what I'm hearing from at least one professional is that he doesn't want to bear it any more.

Another dumb comment, on a serious note.
