Terrible experience. Overstated and under delivered.
Would tell us things could be done, would say they are being done, when they weren’t. We would have to chase up and he would do the change only to work out it couldn’t be done and we would have to re-work other parts of the design to make them work.
No attention to detail, we would constantly find things wrong in plan versions. Changes we would put in writing would not be done.
Cost us so much money and more in time, two years in plan development.
Even then he wouldn’t follow through with final cutting plan with panel company and when we checked it there were still mistakes. We had to plead our case with panel company to let us continue without him, even though they only allow designers to sign off because he would not respond and we did not have the strength to engage with him anymore.
The reason for choosing him was his “experience” with passive house principles and products, while there was some experience, in the end it was lacking. Make sure you ask to full projects through to completion.
He has not even contacted us to see if project was completed, you would think you would want to get images for your portfolio of completed work, but no. What does that tell you!
