Finding Architects and Structural Engineers

[James H.]

We have a lot and want to build an affordable, 3bd/2bath home that is around 1100 sqft. I found some plans on the internet that I am interested in. But, I would prefer a local architect to stamp them.  Plus I need an energy audit and structural engineer to design the foundation (per the city.)

I have subs lined up.  But, finding architects and engineers willing to help with a 1100sqft home is a real challenge that I was not expecting.   I posted on sites like UpWork and contacted several architects from DFW Craigslist with little response.  The engineer we use to evaluate slabs for homes with rehab is unwilling to work on new foundations because of liability.

Ideas?
