DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!!! LOOK ELSEWHERE. Prodject: 30x20 Workshop turn into In-law Suite (water, drain and electric already established in 2011). Our estimates consistently rose cost. All is based on a computer program, then they have all their sub contractor companies give their quotes). They subcontract all services (framing, plumbing, electrical) Communication is sub-par at best. We started at an estimate of *******, (1brdm 1 bath, add porch and addition 15x15) then it went to 200k to 230k and now just to keep it super basic it turned into 140k no porch. Doing it right the first time is your slogan and from the beginning this was not done right. We started this process back in March 2024 (first call and estimate) then in April we got our first estimate on paper and we were good with the cost. Once we decided to go with this company with a 130k estimate we didn't look for other contractors. I mean 130k was good for what we wanted. We paid ***** to get started on "design phase" . I was even ok with 20k difference but 70k-100k is absolutely ridiculous. Fast forward to July and a new estimate came in at 200k way over budget. It ***** because now we are out ***** and have worthless plans to show for it and have lost 5 months for building. We cannot take these plans anywhere. A new architect will still have to draft a new set with their software. Least the company could do is refund at least half the design fee since it covers services we haven't even used yet.... and now have to go elsewhere.The estimator is still novice in his position, he's a "best guesser". He consistently uses words such as "I think", "I guess", "I believe" are definitely not words to obtain customer confidence. This company has given no confidence to the customer. ************************* (owner) slogan "********************** The World With Positively Changing Lives" definitely not happening here.
