Draftsperson ----- help me.

[punagirl]

So we picked a draftsperson that everyone raves about. On the last day of our trip last month we had an appointment with her for 9am. There wasn't a lot to discuss as we had a plan and just wanted to hand it to her and meet in person. She was an hour late. I understand island time but she admitted she forgot the appointment and she expressed how glad she was that someone at the office called her after we had waited about 30 minutes. After meeting with her we made the plane (she new we were flying out that morning so you think she would have been on time). She is really nice and has a reasonable price but I am worried about a few things. She admits to not being computer savvy. That means everything will need to be mailed back and forth. I was hoping she would be able to do one of those computerized CAD things where you can see the inside and it looks real. She can't. She also cannot provide a materials list. I guess you do not have to know much about architecture to be a draftsperson but she had a hard time with understanding a lot of terms we were using when explaining what we wanted where etc. I really do not feel we need an architect because my husband has designed the elevation and floorplan. What we do want is someone that can make suggestions about how to make sure our house works with the breeze etc while still keeping the mid-century modern look we are trying to achieve. Any ideas on the right person for this job? Glenn P, I remember in a previous post you were having communication problems with your draftsperson. I am thinking we are using the same person. Does yours work at one of the big lumberyards? Did things ever get better?
