Mostro Belle and Enzo are.

FWIW, in CA at least, if I remember right, you don't have to have a licensed architect or engineer design your house. As long as it meets code, you're fine. That's of course assuming it's not a 4 story steel frame or something. It may not be a good idea, but it's legal.

+1 on having an architect involved at some point.
They know codes and can point out problems in the design that might increase cost/decrease livability. A home architect program simply cuts down on the time an architect will take trying to get something started. By going into their office with a basic plan, and an idea of what finishes you want, you can save time, which saves $$. It will also help if you have a plat of the property the house will sit upon, showing elevation changes, and municipal systems (If any).

If you drive the nicest car in the neighborhood, work in a cash business, and don't pay taxes, you're either a preacher or a drug dealer...

Yes very good recommendations.
