I do not like to leave bad reviews but in this case, I feel bound to do so. My clients hired Jay CAD to produce as-builts of their small house, because they were significantly cheaper than the as-built firms I had referred them to. (To be clear, I would not have made any money on those referrals, so, it made no difference to me at all.) I'm not sure who is supervising their work, but, the results are not useable for construction planning purposes. The drawings show a profound ignorance of ordinary construction conditions and an inattention to detail. The first drawings they submitted were obviously inaccurate, showing building sections with no floor thickness, and a 3' retaining wall in the basement as the end of the building, even though the building clearly continues for more than 6 feet beyond that point. I informed the clients that they needed to direct Jay CAD to correct the drawings, and they resubmitted again a couple of weeks later. The later drawings are still not competent, however. • The stair is shown with an 18” difference in length on the plan and the elevation. • There is no graphic differentiation between framed and concrete walls. • The drawings still don't show the basement condition accurately. • There are sections cut through areas with large skylight wells but they are not shown in the drawings. • The sections show framing that is imaginary, with 2x6's as 2" x 6" rather than their actual dimensions, and no indication of finishes, so, there is no telling what the wall thickness actually is. • Adjacent floor levels in the garage are shown as flush when they are actually 3" or more apart. • The slope in the garage floor is not shown, but vertical conditions have been dimensioned to it, so, I really can't trust any of the vertical dimensioning and am going to have to go re-measure. I would not hire them in cases where accuracy matters.

Comment from Jay CAD:

Hi Kate

We hope Houzz posted this review and notified us earlier for us to properly get back on this - nevertheless, glad you took the time to write everything and explain your bad experience with our drawings.

Few notes to highlight:

• The stair is shown with an 18” difference in length on the plan and the elevation.
> That can't be possible as we use Revit to generate our drawings, so this gives us enough reason that we did not even do the project!

> We only use Revit for all our projects so there is zero chance of inconsistency between the different drawings we generate, draw, and provide.

• There is no graphic differentiation between framed and concrete walls.

> We do not offer that per our terms & conditions as

• The drawings still don't show the basement condition accurately.

> We do not crawl under any property or go into unfinished spaces and only measure what is immediately visible & accessible in a space.

• There are sections cut through areas with large skylight wells but they are not shown in the drawings.

> Would love if you shared these notes at the time you requested a revision.

• The sections show framing that is imaginary, with 2x6's as 2" x 6" rather than their actual dimensions, and no indication of finishes, so, there is no telling what the wall thickness actually is.

> We do not offer that per our terms & conditions

• Adjacent floor levels in the garage are shown as flush when they are actually 3" or more apart.

> Would love if you shared these notes at the time you requested a revision.

• The slope in the garage floor is not shown, but vertical conditions have been dimensioned to it, so, I really can't trust any of the vertical dimensioning and am going to have to go re-measure.

> we do not measure slopes in garages or any where on site per our terms & conditions

Appreciate you still for taking the time to highlight all the grievances you had with our potential drawings and for the record, we have dramatically improved our workflows to ensure the highest level of accuracy & level of detail

Cheers

Jay and his team were recommended to me by a friend of mine, who had used them on various projects in the past. Jay and his team helped me with a project in Beverly Hills. They are extremely knowledgeable and experienced. I asked Jay for advice and recommendation throughout the process, and despite changes by me, they were extremely patient and worked with me tirelessly to get my plans completed and submitted to the city and get my permits approved. Jay always made himself available to speak to me on the phone to go over everything and made sure I accomplished what I wanted at the end. I strongly recommend Jay and his team to anyone in need of his services.

Great to work with and very knowledgeable. Went out of the way to help out in obtaining the building permit for the project.

Fast, professional and friendly. I requested an as -is drawing for the current house and it was done quickly. They are really well priced for their service. I highly recommend them.
