Disappointing Experience with Box Architects
Unfulfilled Promises and Unreturned Payments
The reviewer, Adil Chaudry, had a disappointing experience with Box Architects, particularly with Graham, who initially showed enthusiasm for the project but ultimately failed to deliver. Despite being paid for planning fees, the company did not submit the plans, and the reviewer's requests for a refund have been ignored for years.
Lack of Communication and Professionalism
The reviewer highlights the lack of communication and professionalism from Box Architects, specifically from Angela, Ken, and Graham, who have not responded to numerous emails requesting a refund. This unprofessional behavior has led to a breakdown of trust and a negative experience for the reviewer.
