Site Planning

The selection and preparation of the ground may include the most important decisions you will make. We may be able to help. After decades in practice, we have learned to appreciate the micro-climate and the basic orientation of your home or office in relation to the landscape or body of water you have chosen, or are seeking.

Design

Perhaps the most overworked, but misunderstood, word in the architectural lexicon, “design” is the conscious organization and preparation of the interactions between human beings and their natural surroundings.
h

Execution

Documents, permits, bidding and the selection of contractors, project supervision and construction management—we have decades of experience in whatever areas your project may require.

Tim is AWESOME SAUCE! The building inspectors in Livonia really had us in a jam and Tim came in and handled everything. I called him right after having a heated talk with the city and Tim was so understanding and had such a soothing spirit he instantly made me feel 10x better. He met us the same day and we never had another bad experience with the city again. We would definitely recommend and hire him again!

Veronique Simmons

Home Owner, Detroit

I needed blueprints in a hurry, and Tim made it happen! He was very nice, professional, and knowledgeable. When I turned his drawings into the city, the building officer was very impressed!

Tim took the time to sit down with us. He came to our home and  reviewed everything we wanted. He helped us make the best decisions for our family, and he even explored other options to make sure we got the most for our money.

He helped me feel more confident and at ease with the stressful process of building a home addition. He went above and beyond to make sure we are happy. Thank you Tim!

Kelley Anthony

Home Owner, Taylor

Unbeknownst to us, the person who had constructed and sold to us our lakefront house had done the entire project without pulling any permits. Nobody would touch it.

Tim came highly recommended. He did not hesitate. He helped us from the very first day, preparing blueprints and working with the building department and the different inspectors to obtain the approvals that we needed. He put us at ease right away and continues to answer every call.

We are so very thankful. And we highly recommend Tim Nichols Architect.

Kathy Goans

Home Owner, Quincy

Tim helped us with a great design and managed the project through completion.

Kevin Donley

Home Business Owner, Southfield

When I was confronted with the fact that my entire home was jeopardized by catastrophic stream-bank erosion, I was devastated. Everyone I called, including leading environmental engineers in the state of Michigan, told me that my house could not be saved. I did not think the problem could be solved until Tim Nichols Architect developed an affordable solution to stabilize the stream bank and permanently reinforce the foundation of my house. Thank you Tim!
