Hired an architect for plans to construct a sturdy standalone screened in porch to provide a courtyard like space, bordered by gate and fence. A new bathroom in the garage bordering this space.
Simple, quick as agreed on.
Instead more than three months later he produced a two page sketch of the buildings shell, and a bill for 4x the stated amount(with NO agreement or understanding).
He sent plans to contractors for bidding, then to find he did NOT provide plans just this sketch. Moss now claims to have been acting as a designer.
His front window proclaims his AIA membership. His website describes him as an Architect.
If he wasn't going to fulfill the contract as an Architect, this should have been stated.
If he wasn't going to deliver plans, like the detailed ones from a former project he took at the first meeting, he should have stated that at the beginning or at any time. He also summarily cancelled the bathroom and delivered plans with NO ELECTRICITY OR PLUMBING.
Got more money promising to ensure the plans received building permits, then quit as soon as he got it and it was discovered missing anything other than his sketch.
Required budget was not met, nor any of the requirements originally stated.
Then turns out he is NOT even licensed as an architect in the state of Michigan. Something else he doesn't disclose.
And more, bad. Go elsewhere. read more
