Disappointing Experience with the Company
The company in question has been accused of being unresponsive and incompetent by one of its customers, Lina Makneviciute. She claims that despite requesting building regulations drawings for her extension over 2.5 years ago, the company has yet to deliver the approved drawings. When questioned, the company's responses have been inadequate and slow to arrive. Furthermore, Lina is critical of the structural engineer hired by the company, claiming that he provided substandard calculations that didn't meet the council's standards, causing major delays and issues.
It's also alleged that the company's architect, Rex, was rude and blamed the client for the problems, despite the structural engineer being the source of the issues. As a result, the company has earned a bad reputation with the Southend council, and any future work done by them will likely be met with skepticism and mistrust.
On the other hand, another customer, Matt Hw, has had a positive experience with the company, praising their "fantastic ideas" and "great design" that led to a successful planning outcome.
