"My family has enjoyed working with Forum Design. This was our first custom build so we had plenty of questions and required some hand-holding. Brian was very accommodating and explained every process completely and we honestly couldn't have pulled off such an amazing home without him. The Forum Design has given us a lot of suggestions that have fine-tuned our vision. We quickly realized how much experience Brian had after he viewed our initial wish list. He has been very timely and kept communication channels flowing. Brian has taken this from initial design & drafting all the way through the permitting process and worked with many other trades along the way to help complete our plan package. We look forward to working with Brian and his team at Forum Design again soon on our future investment property project."

Brian displayed very good verbal skills, communicated clearly and concisely during the building process of our home.  Brian was very professional and patience. He was always available when we needed him and was very willing to give his suggested feedback to the numerous questions I had along the way.  His written communications skills went way beyond the requirements of his position and he keep all other trade partners adequately informed of any changes that were taking place while our house was being built.  Brian played an important role not only as an architect but we ended up with a friend. I still ask questions today and he’s always willing to help even months later.  We now have a place to call home thanks to Brian.  I would highly recommend the Forum Design Group.
