Madden is very hard to work with. I would look around a bit before I went that route. We used him to draw our first house and just thought he was quirky. We went back when we wanted to start our 2nd house but he was a jerk. He told my wife and I that he hated drawing that style house and wouldn't do it. We gladly moved on. I've other folks here say the same things about him. Be cautious.

I am definitely feeling this now. His designs are pretty good, and I like his style over a few others. However, he was late to our first meeting, his communication is poor, and he's taking a while. We waited over a month and half to first meet with him too. I called and set the initial meeting in mid February, and my plans are projected to be done in a week or so.

So far the design and work has been great, but this post is reflective of my experience as well.
