Building consultant for a duplex in Portland, Oregon

Hello, 

I purchased a home with a build-able lot next to it. I have went through the steps to split and the confirm the lot in two and have just finished renovating the home. Now I am partnering with a general contractor and would like to build a duplex on the vacant lot but I have zero experience in building a home from scratch. 

That said, I would like to look at bringing on a consultant to help move the process along. I have no experience with the permitting process and the fees associated with it and I have never had to have plans drawn up from scratch for a home build. 

Please let me know if you have experience and would like to take on this project with me. I have access to singe family build on this lot that has been pre-approved for the city but a multifamily home will work best for a buy and hold on this property. 

Looking forward to hearing some feed back!

Best,
