This might be a location thing, but in the united states, plans from an architect aren't enough to get anything built.
You need to get an engineer to stamp drawings, saying, "Hey, yeah, this is safe, it can be built, etc."
It's not uncommon for architects to build dumpster fires. Frank Lloyd Wright homes are notoriously awful to maintain, for example.
