In the state of Michigan a builder is allowed to design a
structure up to 3,500 s.f. per the law so long as the builder is
licensed in the State of Michigan. Being a licensed builder in the
state we feel depending on the project the design should be left to
the professionals and that having a qualified architect on the team
is essential to a quality built home.
At Hopper-Lamphear we are truly a one stop building source. Wether
you have selected an architect or not it’s never too early to
contact us. We have built relationships with some the best, highly
known architects in the local market and we will stand behind the
quality they can bring to the team and the home.
Hiring a builder and an architect at the same time is become more
and more the norm. The architect brings design ideas to the table
while at the same time the builder brings knowledge of
constructability and cost in the early stages of the design process.
There is nothing worse that paying for design only to find out later
what was drawn is way out of financial reach. Hopper-Lamphear can
bring that service to the team.
