I'm in the process of upgrading and renovating an old built on piers camp right now. Definitely avoid the architect. I would interview 2 or 3 builders right now. Talk to them about what you want and get their input. You will probably find one that you really like and that one guy won't mind investing the time now if he knows a good job will be coming of it (even if its a couple of years away).
I've built a fair number of homes and though I knew exactly what I wanted. Its amazing how much value a good builder can bring in terms of guiding you to good decisions.
