First, and I mean no contractor dis-respect, you will need a design professional to make the determination that your existing foundation is adequate to support what you propose to build. You will then take the licensed professional engineers/registered architects stamped/sealed drawings + any supplemental details/calculations (stamped as well) to the municipality where you reside for submission and approval and hopefully obtain a building permit to construct what you propose. A reputable contractor would typically be able to direct you along the process and would likely know from experience whether its build-able and or feasible, but unless that contractor has the designers qualifications such as a P.E./R.A. license, thats all they can do. SOme have designers they work with to do the above. I would never rely on a contractor for design services otherwise.
I have seen what you propose to do done in an occupied residence, I delivered all the materials throughout the job, it worked, it was not the best situation, but it was done while they lived there. Really odd to see a roof off an existing home, all furnished and occupied. The others I have seen done, moved temporarily. To do it occupied it takes some coordination with the occupants and weather cooperation to get the roof on, that and a lot of people to bang it out. We delivered to contractors that were capable of framing entire houses, with the roof on, shingles included and windows going in, from the foundation up, in a few days. Lot of people working and these were 80's vintage raised ranch or 2 story homes, not all that big, but not a cape cod or kit from sears in the late 40's into the 50's either. I was always amazed to see what a framing crew can do if they hustle and have everything they need. I've never seen one of these have the roof jacked, all were new framing.
