You could do a few things prior to talking to a builder.
Obtain a plan of the lot. If part of a subdivision get a copy from your town that shows all setbacks including wetlands. Review the current zoning to make sure that the setbacks are correct. Also talk to the town building inspector about your general plan. He/she may have suggestions on local builders and septic plan designers. At this a point you should be able to draw a building location envelope. Cut out a to-scale house/garage envelope and move it around the plan to begin to see what might be done.
The septic design plan and possible well locations are what nail down the possible house locations. With a general idea of what you want it may be time to talk to a builder and septic plan designer.
Good luck.
