Although we did reach a resolution for $100: Met, Hired George 10/01/24. I Provided house Survey. Deposit $2625 charged 10/30/24. Asked if job could be done before Oct 11th. Said he'll get on job right away. Will be at City Hall tomorrow. It is now END OF JAN 2025, I go to city, get truth. Oct 16th permit review application submit, Janis, $50. Oct 17th Engineering & Zoning reject, missing Impervious Drainage Calculations, ROW Permit & max. width driveway can't exceed 30% of lot & confirm double driveway will not exceed 18ft. Oct 24th by email George is notified of rejection, needs corrections. Nov 12th, George submits corrections to Manny, reviewer. (WAITS till Dec 10th for Zoning corrections to Andrea.) WHY HE WAIT A MONTH? WHY WAS I NOT UPDATED? WHY WAS I NOT TOLD it's $1k more to hire ENGINEER from beginning. HE'S GOT 25 YRS EXPERIENCE, kept telling me. Nov 13th Engineering & Zoning rejected again. (WHY? HE PROVIDED CORRECTIONS,11/12) Nov 15th George is emailed, 2nd rejection Marilane emailed. Dec 10th George provides city new corrections. Dec 11th Rejected AGAIN. Description of Work: Dec 13th George is emailed of 3rd rejected documents, including 2nd permit ending in #2053 for ROW, (right of way). FINALLY ON JAN 22ND I canceled EVERYTHING. GEORGE IS A CON MAN. HE CHARGED ME $1125 FOR WHAT. HE'S A RIP OFF. HE DOES NOT TELL THE TRUTH. DOES NOT COMMUNICATE. To make matters worse, he would exaggerate, I BEEN TO CITY 20X, 2dz times. I called u every time I went to city. I HAVE CALL LOGS. YET CITY SAID HE WAS THERE 3X, rest was by emails. HE'D SAY. City is giving me a hard time. They want more requirements than other cities. BUT HE SAYS I did a house in Plantation, Engineer was $2500, yours should be $1000. I tried to save you money, I said how Does THAT EVEN MAKE SENSE. 1st you say will be less than Plantation home, now you say you didn't tell me Nov 12th to save monies, WHAT. HE'S NOT RELIABLE. 25 YEARS EXPERIENCE YET APPLICATION WAS REJECTED 3 TIMES. FOR SURE HE IS NOT RECOMMENDED.

Clients issue was and is he did not want to pay for his PERMIT COST. All work quoted and performed is PLUS PERMIT COST & Fees. All this is stated in CONTRACT, and proposal, plus permit COST. We can’t , and won’t pay for Permit cost since all Cities have different permit cost. The cost is only determined after the permit is issues and payed for. Client also enlargened the size of driveway to a larger size than what city approved, after the City inspected driveway, and would not understand that what the City approved is what can be done. VERY HARD TO DEAL WITH CLIENT due to the fact that they were reluctant to pay for Building Permit, and would not accept the fact that once a Permit is issued one has to abide by the Survey approved. We did however all within our reach to accommodate client.
