[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In case someone is looking for info on them:

We signed a contract for them to design a house for us that could be build within a specified budget and paid them a significant design fee.  They designed a nice house - however, the construction costs were nearly 50% over budget and they were unable to correct the massive budget overage.  Now they refuse to return any of our $.  In discussions with a few real estate agents (we still need to move) it turns out that this is not uncommon for them.  Unfortunately, it wasn't something we turned up when talking to the references provided.

I was always clear that our budget was firm, so this was definitely not a case of me demanding more during the process.  In fact, I brought up my concern around costs on more than one occasion.  [/quote]

I am not sure if OP is still around, but I would like to know how the story ended. According to the contract they have to provide ways to cut the cost. Your budget was supposed to be written down in the contract. Are you looking the money you paid for the design or moving forward to the updated budget? [/quote]
