Firm Profile

The firm of Michael Bratton Architect, Custom Builder, Inc. was established in 1987 by Michael James Bratton, Architect. Michael received his degree in Architecture from the University of Arizona in Tucson in 1983, and acquired his Architectural Registration from the State of Arizona in 1987.

Michael Bratton Architect, Custom Builder, Inc. is one of the very few Architect / Builders in Arizona. We provide a comprehensive service to our clients that begins with an initial site evaluation and proceeds through design development, preparation of drawings, supervision of construction and finally culminates with interior designs and landscaping solutions. Our firm provides a unique service in that all design work and construction supervision is performed by a Registered Architect.

Michael Bratton Architect, Custom Builder, Inc. has designed and built high end custom homes in the Southwest for nearly 30 years. Since we build every home we design we are in touch with construction costs to assure we can meet clients budgets.

Our primary focus is on design quality. Every home that Michael designs is unique. Just as every specific site and client are unique. We specialize in creating designs for very difficult sites. The more unique and challenging the site, the more potential for an exciting, dramatic design.

There are many advantages to having the Architect that designed the building also supervise the construction. This allows the design process to continue throughout construction.

As construction progresses, the Architect can often see new opportunities to develop or enhance the original design with minor modifications. These design enhancements more often than not, do not incur any additional costs.

The Architect works closely with the client to assist with selections of finishes, colors, appliances, lighting fixtures, cabinets, plumbing fixtures, doors and hardware.

There is a continuity of partnership and a confidence building that develops through the design process that helps smooth the transition into the construction phase and through completion.
