Why Hire an Architect From a Design-Build Firm Over an Independent Contractor?

Michigan homeowners looking to keep their remodeling or renovation projects on schedule and within budget can benefit from choosing a design-build firm with an in-house architect. Unlike hiring a separate remodeling architect—which is often required for complex structural projects or to meet local regulations—this integrated approach helps avoid common pitfalls like delays and budget overruns. Below, we outline the challenges of working with independent contractors and show how design-build firms streamline the process for a smoother, stress-free experience.

Misaligned Construction Costs and Details

At MainStreet Design Build, our integrated design-build team ensures every aspect of your remodeling plan aligns seamlessly with construction realities. By addressing building details, material requirements, and costs upfront, we keep your project on track and within budget. This comprehensive approach eliminates the common challenges often associated with independent architects, such as budget misalignment, design revisions, and unexpected delays.

Lengthy and Complicated Design Process

Our streamlined approach integrates design and construction to keep projects on budget and timelines efficient. Unlike the traditional design process—where hiring an independent residential architect can take 3–6 months—our design-build model fosters collaboration from the start. This eliminates budget surprises, minimizes change orders, and avoids delays caused by supply availability, costs, and design complexity.

Project Management Between the Architect and Contractor

Managing communication between architects, interior designers, and contractors can be overwhelming for homeowners. The responsibility of aligning feedback and coordinating the remodeling process often falls solely on their shoulders. At MainStreet Design Build we eliminate this burden by serving as a single point of contact, ensuring clear communication and a unified vision from start to finish.

What Our Clients Are Saying

What our clients have to say

“MainStreet did a large project for us, adding a primary suite with a primary bath and new closet on our second floor with outdoor living space beneath it. The picture of the company team on the Houzz page is on our covered patio that resulted from the project. They make a difficult process as user friendly and manageable as can be. We have worked with other residential builders, and we think MainStreet’s full service approach is fantastic. From working with Steve on the front end design, to working with Christine on so many details, to working with Dwain on perfect execution, they are really pros all the way through the process. Long after the job has been done, they stand behind theIr work without question, and they truly care about their clients and the homes they live in. I highly recommend them and would not look anywhere else. They are worth every penny!”

Patrick K.
