Unless you're physically building it yourself, it's still gonna get corners cut at every stage.
Also, don't underestimate the drainage and erosion control engineering required for a home and a road. Those cookie cutter neighborhoods have regional drainage and detention. Your undeveloped land won't.
I'm sure with some research you could find a company willing to follow your specifications and instructions, but obviously that comes with cost.
To your second point, thanks for the heads up. There's plenty more research that I need to do before I worry about drainage, but I'll keep the thought in mind.
Septic and Drainage should come before any kind of detailed architecture. It'll save you 30 grand in Engineering revisions if you don't have to re-do the drainage plans.
Also, never let an architect be in charge of a project. It's like having the font designer be in charge of office software.
