For those BTDT, how do I research and plan? We'll definitely need a HELOC but do I meet with architects / construction first?
Tanks!

Best bet is to meet with an architect and have him draw up plans. They can amend them as much as you like to make sure it is what you want. Then you take the plans to various construction companies and get some bids. Make sure they are all including the same things so you can really compare prices. I would check out the companies with BBB and see if you can get some recommendations.

Definitely do the plans first so you have an idea of what you want and then price it out.
Also think about the little details that you will want ) crown molding, built in closets, etc.
Also ask around and see how your town is with issuing permits - is it a lengthy process like the town of north Hempstead or is it quick (villages)
Make sure you have a general contractor that manages the whole job and takes responsibility for the subs work
