Rick McGaha R&M Design Group LLC Failed Inspection Reports, Very Excessive Delays, Poor Project Management Roswell Georgia

How long should it take to build a simple detached two car garage?  Many have told me about 3 months, definitely not more than 6 months.

16 MONTHS later, all I have in my ripped up back yard is a plywood structure, which has been exposed to the elements for over 6 months now to the point where some of the wood may need to be replaced.

Issues include:

• Two failed footing/foundation inspections
• Three failed framing inspections
• One failed fire inspection report
• Follow up communications were often incoherent, unreliable, and delayed

Be very careful before hiring R&M Design Group.  My experience is one of the worst I've ever been through.

Lessons learned when working with contractors:

No large down payments (in my case, he asked for 50% up front).  Instead, make smaller payments as sub tasks (electrical, framing, etc.) are completed AND pass inspection.
