What Salty said, but if you are just going up in the same footprint you shouldn't need to pay to have your lot surveyed. There may also be an existing plot plan you could use to review offsets.

Also, if you are on ISDS you will need to see how many bedrooms it was designed for, you may need to increase (and in some areas this may need to be bottomless sand filter $$$). Also find location on plot plan on file at RIDEM.

A good contractor should be able to come up with a set of plans for permit, including having an engineer stamp any beams, trusses, or other non standard framing.

If you aren't looking to do this for a few years, I would put together some rough floor plans and material specs to get prices from contractors later. This isn't that hard to do yourself if you are familiar with whats needed. There's a girl in Wakefield that does plans, Red House Design
