Client Review:
Annette is super fast using Chief yet is not detailed oriented. She does not check her work for completeness or accuracy which adds a great deal of time, frustration and expense to the process. She was to provide complete plans ready to submit for permit but never took responsibility to assure these requirements were met, causing me a lot of extra work.
Annette uses an unreleased beta test version of Chief that is buggy, which also adds significant time to the project. Design elements we implement didn't always get saved and things unknowingly got shifted around. Without her checking the accuracy of the progress files she sent me, I was forced to spend a tremendous amount of time going through the plans looking for new errors. Whenever I bring up these difficulties, she considered them my changes, and met me with defensiveness.
The process described above continued at every step and I still don't have accurate plans to submit for permit, yet I need to move on.
I don't like needing to write such a review but I would have appreciated knowing all this before I chose to work with Annette.
