You need to contact local architects and ask for proposals for doing the design for you. Their fees should include architecture and structural engineering. Most architects have a structural engineer as their consultant. This fee might be about 10% of the estimated construction costs, but it varies by regions.

You can find architects on houzz.com by looking up "find a pro".

Usually, in addition to the architect and structural engineer you will probably need a topography survey by a civil engineer and maybe a soils report by a geotech engineer.......but your architect will be able to help you with this..

Hi Ashok, Leh being extreme cold region will need planning and structure a bit different than our regular home. Factors such as temperature all year round, the extent to which it has snowfall or maximum and minimum temperature drop, the topography of your proposed location, wind speed, these are among many factors that will play role in while planning of your ideal home. With advanced engineering methods and technology, we have many methods to build. Double wall will ensure enough warmth inside the house. -Thanks, -Neelam -Lines and Profile

Hi Sahil, Just mentioning the plot size is not good enough and appreciable to get inputs from professionals. Designing is a subjective process thats why every house is different from another. you better provide with the other information like layout, orientation, your requirements etc. only then any professional here would be able to help you.

Dear Priya, If you could share a sketch of the room layout, you would get many suggestions easily. Questions like: Where is the entrance and the other doors and windows in the room have to be answered. The type of staircase and no.of steps will depend upon the height of the room and the furniture plans, etc.
