This company has rip off quite a few people in the past few years by taking their money and never fully complete the project. The owners of these houses ended it up finishing it themselves as Shelter Design & Construction general contractor did a runner.
Zirkel often bring in his people and charge a lower bid but then these subcontractors made a mistake which cost the owners to pay more money to correct the problems, especially if you are cost plus. Some of these sub are in on the shady scam. Others are given the info. / job by Zirkel but he gave them the wrong info.
So that he could blame it on either the architect fault or the structure engineer faults but the true is that he purposely made it that way so that the house will ended up more costly. Zirkel can't build any contemporary / complex houses as he does not know how to read house plan. One of the things anyone thinking of hiring Zirkel is asking for references and insist on it and if he is unable to provide any, then that is a clues in itself.
