Not directly ... my projects are high capital value and generally procured on a 'design and build' basis so the contractor prices for all risks in the ground.
What do you want to know about piling / foundations?
As to finding an architect .. I wouldn't bother !
If you want something exiting the RIBA still do a charity based consultation exercise where for around £500 a 'proper' architect will give you some creative advice.
Otherwise - for your project I'd save the money and get the contractor to do the designs etc.
If you really wanted to you could probably do your own drawings for planning / procurement purposes. It's not that hard. Or employ an architectural technician / drawing office / CAD monkey to do it for you.
