You might not even need a draftsperson if you can use these well enough maybe just a consult from an area contractor like the one Emily works for, or soon to be Islander jm minica he is a west coast contractor looking to startup on The Island ASAP. To me they are the people who can help you the best with how your design will work best for the area chosen.
Real good contractors build more homes than individual designers design and I would tend to think that most design changes during the construction phase come soley in part from the contractors advise.
Good luck with your building project..
