⭐️ Very Poor Experience – Avoid ThePlanningMan and DME Project
I regret using ThePlanningMan (Phil Welstead) and his recommended engineer Darko from DME Project. Initially, everything seemed fine — the basic architectural plans were produced, and an engineer was brought in to complete the structural drawings. However, once payment was made, communication from both completely stopped.
Despite repeated calls and emails, neither Phil nor Darko responded. The drawings needed only minor modifications for Building Control, but both simply vanished from contact. It also became apparent there were personal and payment disputes between them, leaving customers caught in the middle.
Phil’s secretary did at least answer the phone and tried to help, but it was clear she was left covering for both of them. Unfortunately, I’ve since had to spend additional time and money to fix what they failed to complete.
Terrible customer service after payment — avoid both ThePlanningMan and DME Project.
