Sounds like a very unprofitable way to go about things.........
I beg you to never do that again.
I do freelance design on the side and I can't count the number of plans I do for other contractors who NEVER get the job.
I don't even understand how I can do a plan for someone without meeting them and discussing what they want done....yet contractors INSIST I do a plan for them to show a 'potential' client.
I have to ask cut, did your designer meet with the customer at least? I just could not imagine spending close to 800 bucks on a 'possible job'.
Also, just curious as what the total job value was. I can bang out a pretty decent plan for a 100k job plus for a contractor in less than a day....and I'm not making $800.
No offense to LA's here....but I'll say this to cut.... Drop the LA designer and just find someone who does landscape design. You don't need a LA degree to design a landscape.....and most of all, you don't need to be paying LA's fee to get a nice landscape plan for most residential designs.
