about how much money does it cost to like..design the construction of a house or more of a mansion?

It doesn’t cost anything to design a house! Just grab a pen and a bunch of cocktail napkins and go to it!
Of course if you want a set of plans that will qualify for a building permit that will cost more, a licensed architect or
engineer will probably charge at least a $1000.00 to sign off on a simple set of plans that don’t need a lot of correcting. A lot more for mansions.
Keep in mind that in several cases Houses designed by Frank Lloyd Wright only exist today becase the builders were smart enough NOT to follow his plans!

    For the design alone? Not much since you can buy computer programs that will help you do it quite easily.
