  AWFUL! AWFUL! AWFUL! DISHONEST!!! We hired Craig Smyth "owner" of Clemleddy to provide us with plans to build a small 1000 -1200 sq foot house with handicapped features for my diabilities.. The signing fee was $1,800.00. We were told that he would supply us with as many designs as we needed until "we were happy even if it took 100 drawings". We signed the contract and gave him the payment in late September 2016. We received 3 drawings by October 25, 2016. One bigger than the next. Not one was under 1,400 sq.ft. We sent him an email with the changes, we wanted explaining that the designs were to big and to please make the necessary changes to the existing plans to make it the square footage we wanted. He email me "no problem". On December 2, 2016, We had to emailed Craig to find out what was going on. We had no contact from him for 6 weeks. We received an email with an apology, and that we would receive a drawing by the end of the week. We received nothing. We got an email on December 10th saying he was really busy and we should meet after the holidays. We called the week of Jan 1st to find that he was on two week vacation but made an appointment for the Saturday after his return. We had to cancel this appointment for personal reasons and rescheduled for Feb. 11, 2017. We arrived at his office to meet him and the draftsman, PJ. At this time, Craig did not even bother to show up until our meeting was over. In light of the designs, we received, we were not confident that PJ was given the correct criteria of what we wanted to build. My husband made a rough drawing of what we wanted to build and gave it to them. On March 2, 2017 we received a "we can't satisfy you letter". If he can't design a 1000 square foot home with a drawing done for him, it's pretty sad. We asked for a $900. refund. Now, he won't return our calls. We felt half the payment was more than fair for the work he did. However, he gave us nothing we asked for. In return, he gave us what he wanted to build. Our experience with Craid Smyth was nothing but dishonest!!! Don't waste your money. I am thankful to have found out the character of this man, before I gave him $200 to $250 a square foot to build a home. If this is how he treats his customers during the design phase, I am glad I did not find out how he builds a home. He wasted 6 months of our valuable building time.
