Dear elbarto_87:
If I were you , first I would obtain all of the current residential codes for the municipality
Second , drive around and browse thru the area for on-going residential construction
Third, get hold of some permitted drawings and study.
I dont think there is a shortcut for this process.
It will take time to discover local practice and needs.
Needless to say that residential market always pays less than commercial.
Expectations vary owner to owner. Most of them are not aware of complications of the building process.
Also, residential contractors are obviously less educated than commercial contractors
I would also read do-it-yourself books about residential structures.
Our forum here have good resources also.
Good luck
