Welcome to AIA Michigan's
HOW TO ...

Get Started

The best way to begin a new project is for you— the owner—to reflect on what you bring to it: knowledge, experience, needs, desires, aspirations, and personal opinions. You also provide the resources to realize your expectations.

AIA Michigan is proud of the quality of our members, the services they provide, and the value they bring to the community.

It is the intent of the AIA Michigan Board of Directors to offer to our membership and to our readers a up-to-date reference source for design services and professionals.

Design and construction are inherently exciting. There are few things more satisfying than a successful project. The secret to success lies in the professional, business, and personal relationships between owner and architect. 

The links above will provides guidance on how to establish and benefit from those relationships.

You and Your Architect

No matter what kind of project you have in mind, you should speak with an architect who is a member of The American Institute of Architects (AIA) at the earliest stage of the design process. Architects have the education, training, experience and vision to maximize your construction dollar and ease the entire design and construction process.
