One of the worst experiences with an architect by far. John may have been good at one time, but certainly not any longer. We contracted him to design a commercial building space. It all started well, but once we gave him a deposit and signed a contract with him, we never heard from him again for months. We had to track him down for a progress report, but came to find out he literally did nothing for two months. We had to fire him, demanded a refund, but then only received half of it back. What he did deliver to us, prior to the contract being signed and by way of preliminary concept drawings, was completely worthless. What we didn't know was that every meeting prior to signing the contract was being billed. He literally charged us for just speaking with him! Our complaint is off to the lawyers and to the BBB at this point, with little expectation of resolution. Pick another designer/architect - you'll thank me in the long run. . . read more
