While the OP was asking about a garage addition, when we demolished our camp and built a new house we used an architect and it was money well spent. His preliminary drawings nailed it in terms of what we wanted and he came up with some great ideas. We sent his construction drawings to 3 well known local builders for a bid. Told the 3 not to change a thing in the drawings so we could compare apples to apples. 12 years in the house and we still love it. The builder we chose had some good ideas of his own.
