Construction is easy, but your permitted building still requires an architect and/or civil engineer to vouch for its structural integrity, as well as compliance with the myriad of code "requirements" (square footage, windows, doors, plumbing, electrical, etc).
It's generally assumed that you're not "smart enough" to both understand all of these issues and implement accordingly.
