Depending on the extent of what you are doing you might require more than a designer. I don't work much with houses so you'll want to double check my information. But if I recall correctly, if you are ripping down walls you'll need a building permit. Depending on the extent you may need to hire a Architect or a Architectural Technologist. If you are touching the structure (beams, load bearing walls, etc) you'll probably need an engineers drawing. I have no idea what Interior Designers are allowed to do in that sense, but it's something you should look at.
I would take a look through the cities site regarding building permits.
