The Arkitex Studio, Inc.

We started working with this firm in August of 2020. We were told, in writing, that the design process would take 4-6 months. In December of 2021 (16 months later), house plans were finally ready for bidding. They came in at THREE TIMES the budget we gave them. Then they wanted us to pay more so they could work on the design to get it more in line with original expectations. This was after we had already paid the firm $80,000. We decided that would be throwing good money after bad. When we did not agree to pay them more money, they cancelled our contract. Communication was ineffective, at best, but we often felt it was deliberately misleading, particularly with respect to pricing for design services. Sixteen months+$80,000=no viable plans.
