BUYER BEWARE This Tim B. is not an architect you can trust nor one who was able to design a plan that the local authorities could allow. Nothing but problems and delays. Completely disregarded what we asked him to design without even telling us. When told that the plan as is is unusuable because would rupture towns waterline and requested to make adjustments - he literally said "I dont care!" because he'd already been paid in full. Sweet taking our money, the rudeness after is the most appalling part!
I chose a local company to design my project because the website says things like "environmentally friendly" and "we closely communicate with you every step of the process to ensure that you're satisfied completely through the the process." Neither could be further from the truth! Lies on website, lies in emails, lies to try to coverup his previous lies, is like a petulant child instead of helping come up with a solution to make his plans viable.
We called this architect and explained how we wanted to build this and sent him both photos and our sketches of what we wanted, had designed our plans but needed stamped plans for the town. He said "great plan, very doable" but then drew up plans that were nothing like he had agreed to and now they are useless as they would rupture the town's water line. The job site is clearly flagged for utilities from Dig Safely NY and he says he inspected the site before designing the plans - if he did, then he's incompetent as he didn't take any of that into account. When asked to make modifications that would work with that job site, he said "no, I don't care." He only cares now that I have placed reviews about his incompetence online but instead of apologizing and making it right he lies and tries to justify his disgusting behavior and failure to even let us know he was going to completely change the plan - we would have told him no and hired an architect who would work with us to make a plan that works for our customers, us, and the environment.
This has been a terrible and expensive experience. This architect says on his website "Our knowledgeable, creative professionals are committed to finding out your needs and requirements before working out individual specifications and blueprints." If only that were true, he never told us he was changing the design, NO COMMUNICATION. Do yourself a huge favor and move on to an architect who does what he promises, who behaves honorably and professionally. I think the lying now is one of the most disturbing parts -if he really thinks he did nothing wrong, why lie? Just a huge waste of time and money - even added 'surprise' additional fees. Just a horrible experience!! read more
