OVERALL EXPERIENCE
The majority of reviewers had a very positive experience with DRAMS Architects, with all but one giving a 5-star rating. The common themes among the positive reviews are the architect's responsiveness, professionalism, and ability to go above and beyond to meet the client's needs.
CLIENT SATISFACTION
Clients praised Al's creative problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and willingness to work within their budget. The team's 3D digital capturing and BIM modeling workflow were highlighted as a major advantage in the design process.
However, one reviewer, Bill R., had a poor experience with the company. He felt that Al was unable to keep track of information and inadvertently added unnecessary detail to the plans, resulting in a significantly higher bill than initially quoted.
CORRESPONDENCE ISSUES
Bill R. also expressed disappointment with the company's communication style, citing an unsatisfactory response to his concerns and an excessive phone call at 6:19 am on a Sunday. This incident led him to give the company a 2-star rating, rather than the 1-star he initially intended.
