I used to build fancy custom houses. I was always amazed at the mind set of some people who, on the verge of spending $500m and up on their house, would consider "saving money" by buying a set of mail order plans that they had seen in a magazine for $39.

My advice was always, "the cheapest money you will ever spend will be the thousands of dollars you spend on the up front design from a qualified architect." Design it, change it, think about it, live with the thought of it, change it again, for as long as you can before beginning. There will always be modifications but nothing compared to the alternative.

There are amazing similarities in the building of a portrait.
