I am an engineer and design houses on the weekend. What I tell people is to start with a sheet of graph paper and sketch out your new plans to scale. MAKE SURE IT IS TO SCALE!

Keep in mind the roof design usually determines most additions unless you go for a major remodel. Most contractors can build off your sketch. I strongly suggest working with a designer or architect though. They do this everyday and can come up with some cost saving ideas. They will also provide some type of rendering to show you the exterior views after the addition.
If you live where you have to submit your plans, check with your local and state building code requirements first.
