CF7 Design, LLC

We started working with Faye in late 2020 to design our dream custom home from scratch. She works full time for another design firm but wanted to start her own business. We took a leap of faith in her work based on some of the designs she showed us. The gap was that she couldn't share a single reference we could speak with of her work even though she shared many custom home plans she had done. We iterated through the design plans for our home over the next 15 months while she took 3-4 months off to go abroad for family emergency. Earlier in 2022, she pulled out of the project abruptly when we pointed out to her repeatedly about the edits, changes she would miss on the design work that was communicated to her on many previous meetings or occasions. She would take 2-3 weeks even for small changes that would not require more than couple hours of work. She cancelled out of the contract accusing the home owners of breach of contract, because we didn't introduce her to the builder (When no builder was yet finalized). We are in build phase now, and are encountering all the issues that her plans have. As a homeowner who is building a custom home, it is a nightmare to work with plans that have issues. Anyone looking to hire her, MUST ask for references to speak with. We would not recommend her for her work. She is a nice person but her work is ordinary at best and could improve on listening to clients. Custom home design work is not an overnight job and as per our contract with her, was not dictated by timelines of her choice.
