There are 2 basic flaw types in construction...Design & Execution. A well studied plan anticipates the limits of materials & methodology; minimizes maintenance. No amount of care & quality in implementation can cover flawed concepts w/o translating to higher cost for solutions & maintenance. That said, bad executions can very well ruin the most perfect of plans.
In choosing both planner & builder, consider the cost, but go w/ those w/ experience. Those who've valued mistakes, theirs & others'. Best, those who take ownership of their creations. Scout, take your time. It will be unwise to make your project double as their school w/ you paying their tuition.[emoji4]The good 1s can be pricier, but may likely give more product & no migraine back. The opposite aplenty, can be lower, yet have better margins. You'd question the math brilliance or the sorcery. [emoji4]
Planning & building are a lot of fun...

Agree bro. Looking at their previous works is important. And not the newly made ones, mind. Better the ones that have seen some years of use and wear and are still up and in great condition. The owners are the best ones to provide feedback on the durability and utility of a structure.

On the flipside though there are also those who charge more while providing less quality vs the cheaper guys.
