Actually, your requirement here also suggests working with a small general contractor.

The architect works for you. You would want the equivalent of "prenatal diagnostics."
There are architects who also act as general contractors. Prefabricated house providers are also general contractors, by the way.

You are not in a position where you have to do anything yourself in the house construction (let's leave aside any own labor like painting for now).
