That summer they were selected to oversee a summer project for Zeta which included installing water sprinklers for the house and a brand new security system. Since Zeta is registered as a historical property, to even begin the project, Austin Design and Build Solutions had to make countless trips to the City to get the required permits to allow construction. That was a monumental task in itself. This project had to be done within a two-month period when the house was closed over summer break. Not only did they finish the project well within the two-month period, but also at a considerable cost savings. I have gladly recommended Austin Design and Build Solutions to the other sorority houses where they continue to "be the best on campus". As a house director it is a relief to me to work with a company that is very conscious of the needs of these wonderful houses.
Started out really good. But little red flags began to come up. Daniel showing up three hours late to our meetings, promising pre-visuals of the build but never delivered, photos of the job as they progressed (i had a family emergency and had to leave town - roommate was always available as I was over the phone) crew came for a few hours then were pulled off for other job. When asked why they weren’t there was told they were sick from food poising or hurt or etc. The job was to take 3 to 4 weeks tops - there were delays - but after 7 weeks and the job only being half done and crew only coming one day a week. You’d think I’d would have been done. But no, had a call with both danial and Courtney and was informed we were over budget and they needed to order more supplies. I was never called and informed about any problems and what I’d like to do about it. When I asked for an itemized spending list of all spending on the job and a schedule for completion I heard nothing from them. I waited, nothing. So I fired them and still have not heard a word from them. I have a half built porch and shed and a contractor and designer who won’t even give me the time of day to apologize or take any responsibility. I am blessed the foreman is happy to finish the job for us. I highly recommend not using this company. Unless you want to be completely frustrated and have a half finished job.
Austin Design and Build Solutions were hired as my general contractor at Zeta Tau Alpha sorority when I was the house director. They were outstanding in finding and correcting problem areas in the house which resulted in cost savings. After dealing with independent contractors over the years, it was a relief to have a company that I could call on anytime, day or night, which is essential when operating a house with the needs of 50 plus college girls. They were professional, on-time and most impressive, cost effective.
We hired Austin Design and Build Solutions to build our new home. Since we had recently purchased land, we were on an incredibly tight budget. We had high hopes to be able to have a "modern farmhouse" style of home that you see on many of the 'fixer upper' type TV shows without breaking the bank. We called Austin Design and Build Solutions and spoke with Daniel who spent 2 hours with us on the first call answering all of our questions and providing valuable information about permitting, realistic time frames, and the design-build concept. We were able to meet Daniel and his designer at our property later that week and were pleased at how enthused they were about our project even though we would not be considered by most firms as a high dollar client. They had some unique design perspectives and were refreshingly upfront with what we could do with our available finances. Their entire process was very transparent and we never felt like we were getting a sales pitch or urged to increase our budget. In fact, the owner pulled comps within the area of our land so we wouldn't overspend and build something that we couldn't later sell for profit if we wanted to down the road. Within a week we received line-item pricing for our build along with a la carte design items we could add if our budget allowed. Their designer was very knowledgeable about what materials we could use that were cost effective but still give us the look we desired. She provided two sets of plans for us with different layouts that we hadn't thought of to give us the most usable space without having to add square footage. She also went out of her way to look for reasonable reclaimed wood to use for accent pieces and custom designed our cabinets and main light fixture. We had frequent calls and meetings with both Daniel and the rest of the crew so we always knew where we stood with each phase of our build. The crews were courteous, clean, and stayed on task. We loved the end result and got the farmhouse that we wanted and couldn't be happier about choosing Austin Design and Build Solutions as our design-build contractor.
This is a horrible company. Every nightmare contractor story you can think of happened to me with these people. Run from this company. The other 4 star review was done by an employee.
