Poor Service and Unprofessionalism
David Huntley's review highlights a disappointing experience with Shorplans, specifically with Carl, whom he regards as the most incompetent, unprofessional, and impolite person he has ever encountered. The reviewer expresses frustration with the numerous errors found on the requested drawings, which were excessive and would have gone unnoticed without his daily experience with technical drawings.
Lack of Attention to Detail
The reviewer criticizes Shorplans for the poor quality of their work, stating that they would have expected more attention to detail and less errors. He is particularly concerned about the potential impact on clients who may not have the technical expertise to detect these mistakes, and is worried for their sake.
Unacceptable Professional Standard
In conclusion, David Huntley's review emphasizes the unacceptable professional standard displayed by Shorplans, particularly Carl, and implores them to take necessary steps to improve their services. The reviewer's experience is a cautionary tale about the importance of verifying information and attention to detail in any transaction, and serves as a warning to others about the potential pitfalls of working with Shorplans.
