              Unanswered
              We hired design Everest to provide us a full set of house plans including structural engineering, architectural, Title 24 etc, with assistance submitting plans for permitting with **************. We paid them $20,500 with the first payment 9/22/22 and the final payment on 4/28/23. They sent us an alleged final set of plans months after our final payment, but the architect had replied to that email stating the structural engineering did not work with the architectural design and would need to be re-worked, to which we got no response. The architect who was contracted to do the work by Design Everest contacted me a while later, asking if we had heard from Design Everest, because they had not been paid in full for our project and that they were in the process of closing, to which I informed him I had not heard from them, and that we had paid Design Everest in full for our project. I am no longer able to access the email or link to our alleged Final plan set so I have no useable documents from them to continue with this project even with a different licensed company.

              I needed to have my first floor redone (approx. **** sqft) including kitchen and bathroom remodeling. I chose Everest to help with the design. I was very lucky to have ****** as my architect. He is very experienced, proactive, and very easy to work with. He indeed did high quality work. Even though the project manager assigned to my project during the design phase really upset me, I was happy to have *******, as my project manager during the post-design phase. He was very knowledgeable and responsive. Each time he turned around quite fast when I inquired about the status. He followed up with me to make sure everything was ok each time he forwarded me the plan update.I applied for city permit as homeowner. Everest was very supportive during the application review process.
