Good home plans

To me planning my dream house is difficult since I am not professional in planning it, though I can tell how I would like it to be done but if I plan it myself im pretty sure that it will not be form as a house. I always thought that if ever I will build a house, I would hire an architect or any professional home designer. I do believe that hiring professional people to do the actual planning could cost so much money. But I just learn that there are some companies now who could help us choose a house plans that we would like for our dream home. I really think that this could help us saving alot of money than hiring an architect or whoever we think that can do or capable to do the job except someone close to us who could maybe give us a better deal. But we should know what design we want that fits to our budjet since building a house is expensive thats why we need to find a great deal as much. Well, I think that it's good idea that we always have a second thoughts/opinion because I do believe that comparing things, could lead us to the better one if not the best. And in that way, we will be happy of the result of what we paid for and live happily in our dream home.
