My main observation with a lot of these pages I come across is people only have photos of 3D designs, but not actual completed work to show....

YES! This happens all the time.
Also if you're not using one contractor with their own mason, electrician, plumber etc and you decide to hire a separate mason, plumber, electrician, each one will complain about what the other did. Electrician gonna complain about the wall and plaster the mason did.

Its only going to get worse as steel mills all around the world are having problems sourcing raw materials and thus prices will continue to go UP...
I figure by mid year prices on steel materials will go up by another 20-40%.
ENjoy.
