Poor Experience with Company
The company has been criticized for their poor service, causing significant delays and issues with a building project. The reviewer, Lina Makneviciute, has had a terrible experience with the company, waiting for 2.5 years for building regulations drawings for their extension, with no approval in sight.
Lack of Communication and Responsiveness
The company has been accused of taking a long time to respond to questions and concerns, and when they do, the responses are often insufficient. This lack of communication has led to frustration and mistrust.
Unprofessional Behavior
The reviewer has also reported unprofessional behavior from the architect, Rex, who was initially friendly but later became rude and confrontational when confronted with issues.
Substandard Work
The structural engineer, David Pickering, was also criticized for providing poor calculations that did not meet the council's standards.
Consequences of Working with the Company
The reviewer's experience has not only caused them significant stress and financial loss but has also damaged the company's reputation with the Southend council.
Competent Alternative
On the other hand, Matt Hw has had a positive experience with the company, praising their fantastic ideas, great design, and successful planning outcome.
