“Having enjoyed the opportunity to collaborate with Rob on several homes, we wholeheartedly recommend CBI Designs for the quality and professionalism of their work. Their attention to both detail and client requirements, apparent within each home, is truly what separates CBI Design Professionals. We look forward to working with Rob and CBI in the near future!

“From the time we first met Scott in person, we felt completely confident in his abilities to help us design our first home. Scott was extremely personable and made us feel at ease throughout the entire process, which was no easy feat since we have little experience with the home design process. He is very knowledgeable in Michigan code and energy-efficient homes and made some great suggestions on how we could increase the R value of the house, which was very important to us. He offered advice about which type of insulation to use, what windows would be most cost-effective yet eco-friendly and how geothermal could be used in our home. He also pointed out some flaws in the floor plan we brought as inspiration and helped us design a well thought out, functional layout that will for our family for years to come. On the exterior, he offered many ideas on how to give a new build some character and make it feel inviting. Scott delivered our plans very quickly and when we had revisions, they were done promptly. When we decided to change the roof pitch to add more head space to the second story of our cape cod, he called to discuss truss design and potential increased home costs to ensure we were making the best decision. I would highly recommend Scott to anyone looking for a passionate, talented architect that has your best interests in mind. He is prompt, professional and detail oriented and his plans were outstanding. Our house will be built over the next 9 months and I cannot wait to see his vision come to life!”

“Our architect of many years retired just prior to our decision to build a new house. We were concerned about using a new architect on such a big project but my husband and I were impressed with Jenna the first time we met her. Jenna understood our vision and worked patiently with us throughout the entire project. Jenna is creative and professional and we will definitely call on her the next time we need an architect.”
Labra Design Build

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars4 August 2013
“We wanted our bathroom completely redone and Rufino of Labra Design Build handled the whole project from start to finish. I gave him my list of must haves and he designed a digital rendering of what it would look like. From demolition to the final result he was always clean, courteous and considerate of our lives as he worked around us. We love our new bathroom and wish we had done it sooner. We would not hesitate to hire Labra Design Build for any other project and we highly recommend him.”
Studio Z Architecture

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars21 August 2012
“Studio Z was the architect on a large home remodel project in which I was the interior designer. It was great working with Dawn. She was very easy to communicate with, very personable, and very open to collaborating with me on design ideas. I know that the clients on this project spoke very highly of Dawn as well. They thought of her as both friendly and professional. The home turned out beautifully and I know that the clients love the end result. They could not have been more pleased with her work. I would highly recommend Studio Z Architecture to anyone.”

Joseph Mosey Architecture, Inc.
Architects & Building Designers in Wayne County.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars2 October 2012
“Joe's talent as an architect shines in his ability to create a aesthetically beautiful structure with comfortable and livable proportions. On more than one occasion, I have witnessed Joe's client presenting mixed signals in their tastes and budgets, yet Joe has been able to deliver a phenomenal design on the first draft. Equally as important, he treats his clients who are looking for marquis new homes with the same respect and thoughtfulness as those looking for a simple addition.”
Ekocite Architecture
Architects & Building Designers in Wayne County.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars5 November 2012
“Tammis is very easy to work with. Her range of taste is quite large. She is extremely professional and has a wide range of ideas to suggest. I am very happy with the basement remodeling project we did together. The basement is stunning. Its comfortable yet has elegant touches that elevated it to quite an upscale environment that maximizes the small space. The use of Shoji doors throughout makes a huge statement with very little footprint. Brilliant design, comfortable space.”

It is often said when you're building a house, you’re building a dream. An architect or master of building design can make your dream house a reality. Architects can help you design and redesign spaces of your home or focus on helping you build your own house from the ground up. Architectural firms have extensive knowledge of architectural design and building materials, and a strong appreciation of ergonomics – warmth, light, and flow within a property. As you search through architects and building designers in Wayne County, MI, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one:

How do I find the best Wayne County, MI architect for my home design or renovation project?


When building or renovating your home, you don't simply hire an architect or building designer — you build a relationship with them. Be sure you chose a home architect who will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. Architecture is an incredibly technical profession and one where getting things wrong can literally put lives at risk, so ensure you hire a professional with a valid license or an architectural firm to maintain high quality and standards. Your next consideration will be architectural style. Some residential architects specialise in designing traditional homes or farmhouses, others in designing modern replicas of traditional homes. While a few have a knack for imagining bolder, more futuristic architectural design in Wayne County, MI that incorporates the latest technology.

Once you have frozen on the architect or building designer, chat through your goals, projected budget, scope of work, schedule and any other specific requirements you might have. Ask them to walk you through the process, including the number of architectural design consultations, site visits and what they will be delivering and when, e.g. feasibility study, a technical drawing, tender package and/or planning application drawings. Also, get a sense of whether they are a good listener, collaborator, and problem solver. Finally, be sure to find out what the architect needs from you,deeds, rights of way, deposit, staged payments and so on.

How much does hiring an architect in Wayne County, MI cost?


Home construction and renovation often have a preset budget and hence it is important to understand how much architects charge. While there is no set payment structure, independent architects may charge differently from architectural firms. Architects sometimes choose to calculate their fees on the basis of a per square foot rate. In rare cases, especially with smaller projects, Wayne County, MI architects may choose to ask their clients for a fixed fee. Make sure the total figure and payment schedule is agreed as part of your contract, particularly if you are trying to accurately estimate the cost of building a house.


Questions to ask prospective Wayne County, MI architects:


  • What types of renderings (3D, video, illustrative) will you produce?
  • Who will be working on my project? (This is very important if you hire an architectural firm)
  • What is your fee structure?
  • What does the cost include?
  • Can you handle my special requests?
  • What is your experience with similar projects/ architectural design and style?
  • When do you expect to start and be finished with the project?
  • What do your services include? (It's best that the services are until construction is completed.)
  • What happens when the cost exceeds the budget?
  • Can you provide me with references?
  • Would you say your work has a defining style? (This is important in case the architect's personal style will interfere with your vision.)
  • Will you help with hiring a general contractor and other subcontractors?
  • What do you estimate the cost will be?
