    This was a terrible experience and Robert neither did what he said or treated me honestly…read more I talked with Robert who said great things about how fast he was and how comprehensive the plans would be. He was convincing. His fee for the project was to be $60,000 and he took half up front with promises for a first draft in days, the entire process in 6 weeks. He took over a month for the first draft which wasn't what I had asked for and this was followed by two months of unanswered emails and unreturned calls with nothing happening. The process dragged out for months and I gave up the project with him having done only preliminary plans, which involved much less work than the $30,000 I had paid him. He said he would only charge for his time but then spent 4 month dodging calls and not returning emails. When I finally threatened legal action he called and offered a discount on future projects rather than a refund. I am a developer and have built many projects commercial and residential and I cannot think of a worse experience from a construction or design professional. Be warned.

    We recently tried to have our house designed by Robert from ProDraft and it ended up in a disaster…read more After discussing the terms for about 4 weeks and hearing all the great things, first draft in 2-3 days, finished design in 2-4 weeks, fastest design company in Hawaii,... we entered into an agreement in October 2024 and paid the deposit (23K!). Despite we provided all our design ideas immediately, it took more than 3 weeks to get a first draft. As part of the agreement, Robert would consider the budget in the design. None of this was included or considered. The design process went super slow, lots of excuses from his end, and instead of bringing in ideas to solve issues, he came forward with plans that were not possible for example building codes or restrictions that he was aware of. After 3 months of trying we had to pull the plug as this project was not going anywhere. We had lost lots of time and ended up with nothing usable or close to a design, so we asked for 1/2 our deposit back which we thought was more than fair. Robert refused and instead sent us an additional invoice for 12 weeks of full-time work with hours he just made up. What a joke. If he would have worked that much on our project we would have received more than just the 4 simple drafts in 3 months that he had delivered to us! We talked to a few lawyers and he is not without blemish. Don't waste money like we did and look somewhere else if you want a house designed. On a positive note: we found another great designer and he could get us the house design we were looking for in 4 weeks.
