To prevent others from experiencing the nightmare I experienced for over a YEAR with a very disreputable and dishonest draftsman, I'm submitting the following warning:
AVOID DOING BUISNESS WITH RICHARD REIKE dba RARE DESIGN HAWAII.
When Richard first contracted with me to do drawings to obtain a permit from the county for an existing structure he assured me that he knew the people in the building department and the process would take 3-4 weeks. A year later, after many misrepresentations and delays, and having to threaten Mr Reike with a lawsuit, the required information was submitted and the final inspection was approved.
Toward the end of the process Mr Reike, on three occasions, told me the paperwork the county required had been submitted. When I called the county for the inspection they told me they had NOT received the information. I personally know of others who are extremely dissatisfied with Mr Reike's way of doing business and several workers who state that he owes them money for work they performed and were never paid. The delays of a year were extremely costly. I highly recommend that you avoid doing business with Mr Reike.
