"I am writing to formally express my deep dissatisfaction with the recent retaining wall replacement project completed by John Krause Construction (JKC) at my property. After reading positive reviews and receiving an estimate that, although over my budget, seemed reasonable for the work involved, I made the decision to hire JKC. Unfortunately, this has proven to be a significant mistake, and I am left extremely disappointed with both the quality of work and the overall experience. Here are the main issues I encountered: 1. Unprofessional Behavior: The crew exhibited unacceptable behavior while working on my property. Not only did I witness them disposing of bodily fluids on-site, but they were also disrespectful and dismissive. when I raised concerns no response was received. I now smell urine when entering and exiting my garage. 2. Unresponsive Ownership: I have attempted to reach out to the owner multiple times to address these concerns and resolve the issues, but my messages have been met with silence. This lack of communication is incredibly frustrating and has only added to my disappointment. The owner refused to speak on the phone since the owner was made aware of the call being recorded. 3. Property Damage: During the construction process, my property was left damaged in multiple areas. This included e.g., landscaping destruction, equipment damage. Personal crew members vehicles being driven through my yard leaving deep tire marks damage. 4. Subpar Quality of Work: Despite the high cost of the project, the final result does not meet the standards outlined in the estimate or contract. No proper grading was completed. Every time it rains pools of water sits in front and behind the wall. The response received was. “we have passed all inspections. There will be some water pooling while it is settling still. Plus the fact of the hard rain today, it will happen.” The wall has been completed for 2 months. Given the extensive problems, stress and anxiety I have faced. I do not recommend John Krause Construction."

You can hire a qualified architect, draftsperson, or engineer to draw accurate architectural plans. For residential projects, a draftsperson or engineer can produce comprehensive blueprints that meet all code requirements. Having an architect or licensed contractor review the drawings ensures your construction proceeds without errors or delays. Always verify professional credentials and communicate your project needs clearly to get precise and reliable designs.
Yes, a draftsperson can design a house plan and produce a complete set of blueprints for residential projects without an architect’s supervision. They deliver detailed technical drawings that meet building code requirements and include every necessary specification. Always confirm that your draftsperson holds proper certification and extensive professional experience. Contact your local building department to ensure that their work complies with all regulations, guaranteeing a safe and accurate design.
Blueprints are detailed technical drawings that explain a building’s design and layout. They provide a complete visual and written guide that transforms ideas into actionable plans. Blueprints establish clear communication between clients, design professionals, and contractors, and serve as the definitive instructions for constructing or altering a structure. They also maintain records of the completed work for future reference and evaluation.
