San Francisco Design Group

DO NOT … I REPEAT DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE
They are crooks
1. They gave me a quote for around 3,500 dollars for plans– and about 2 weeks working time. The total came out to be nearly double after all the additional things they said i needed and it took nearly 2 months
2. I gave the plans to my contractor and they turned about to be complete garbage– none of the necessary things were on the plan to make the construction viable and to code. They clearly didn’t do the research that was needed considering they didn’t even have the right flooring under the building. The structural engineer was located in southern california and had never even see the location.
3. When i went back to them to have the plans reworked and to have the engineer change what the sub floor was and to have SF design group pay for the changes that needed to be made so that the plans could be approved by the city. when i called him i got an earful from marc the owner of San Francisco Design Group. He rude and disgusting. And did not admit to the error he had made. this man is the most horrible and unprofessional man– he spent an hr yelling at me using curse works and berating me for a mistake that was his.
4. I finally paid his engineer myself to fix the plans– But SF design group is not an architect –so they do not have the stamp needed for the plans. But marc the owner of SF design group assured me and my contractor that the plans would pass the city inspection with the structural engineers stamp. THIS WAS NOT TRUE. PLANS DONE BY SF DESIGN GROUP WILL NOT BE APPROVED BY THE CITY.
5.Finally i just wanted to get my plans to have a proper architect work on the plans. It took marc 4 days to get me the CAD file and multiple emails and phone calls.
6. All of this has cost me an additional 6,000 plus the 6,000 dollars i wasted on unusable plans. Not to mention weeks of set backs on the build out of a retail space, and a massive loss of revenue.
