### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Katie Holmes, Nov. 2025**

> Dan was recommended to us by friends. We reached out with an addition/reno idea in mind and we was able to help us out! Dan was very upfront about the process and how he manages projects and timelines. We gave him a rough idea of a floor plan and how we wanted to change our current home to flow into the addition. When he sent us the preliminary review plans it was pretty close to what I have envisioned, with some minor revisions our ideal future home for the last 3 years was finally on paper. We can’t recommend Dan enough! He does great work and is also very personable, which made this process even smoother!

**★★★★★ — Jordan Ludwig, Jan. 2025**

> Excellent communication, great at understanding the complexities of a renovation/addition and providing advice, guidance and recommendations to achieve our goals while still factoring in a realistic budget. Dan has been great to work with from start to finish and I'd gladly refer him to anyone.

**★★★★★ — scott mather, Sept. 2022**

> Dan was amazing to work with!  He was very knowledgeable and really helped pull together a great design for the addition at our cabin.  Definitely the man at the top of the list for future projects.

**★★★★★ — Bryn Timmerman, May 2022**

> Dan Forsythe was amazing to work with throughout our project and made our dream home come true. He helped us design this custom home and gave his expert advise to make sure there was no mistakes down the road. We found Dan really put that extra effort in while walking us through the drawing stage to make sure nothing was forgotten or missed before going to construction site! Highly recommend Dan for his expertise in designing your home!

**★★★★★ — A + J Potvin, Jan. 2022**

> As first time home builders, we are grateful for Dan’s knowledge and expertise to help us design our home. We highly recommend his work and will certainly use him for any future projects!

**★★★★★ — HU-895836264, March 2020**

> I would recommend FTDC to anyone looking for design services! Once our project was started, Dan provided a quick turn around time, as well as design and building advice along the way.  Texts and emails were quickly responded to, which was very much appreciated. In the end, we are in love with our design and are very excited to start our build.

**Comment from Forsythe Technical Design & Consulting:**

> Thank you very much for the review. I appreciate it. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.

**★★★★★ — Anne Smith, March 2019**

> Chose Forsythe Technical based on the good on-line reviews.  My husband and I had waited for another local designer to get back to us and after a few phone calls gave up.  Dan was very prompt with returning calls & e-mails, which is so very refreshing in today's world.  He was able to draw up an addition to our home that impressed both of us by how well he transitioned from existing to new.  Would highly recommend!

**★★★★★ — Janet Sims, Dec. 2018**

> Dan helped my husband and I take our VERY rough design, and turn it into a stunning set of blueprints. We were able to communicate quickly and efficiently about making appointments and clarifying questions. He was clear about what he thought would work, and what wouldn't, and as Dan got to know us, he adapted the design to suit our personalities. We highly recommend working with Dan. We are excited to start our build.

**★★★★★ — Brad Minary, Aug. 2018**

> Dan has done an excellent job in all aspects.  He is professional, courteous, efficient and provides services of high quality.

**★★★★★ — sunnyd68, June 2018**

> Dan, was excellent to work with. He was very informative, answered our questions and gave his opinions when asked. He always returned calls, answered emails and was willing to meet with us at times that fit our schedules. We highly recommend Forsythe Technical Design & Consulting for any project big or small!

**Comment from Forsythe Technical Design & Consulting:**

> Thank you for the review. I appreciate it! I was actually thinking the other day that I needed to contact you to see if I could get some pictures.

**★★★★ — Jonathan Miller, Aug. 2017**

> Very good service. Quick to respond to emails.  Got together with us in the evenings for our convenience.  Very nice and took our considerations seriously.

**★★★★★ — Harvey Douglas, Aug. 2017**

> The Western Manitoba Seniors \\Non profit Housing Co-operative have used Dan's Services a couple of times over the past 4 years. A very professional and well done set of drawings of our ideas. It is a pleasure to work with Dan and we wish Him all the luck in his venture to offer top notch drafting services in the Brandon Area.
> God Bless, Dan
