**★★★★★ — PDS Properties, LLC, Oct. 2020**

> "Forum Design Group's creative ability and insightful ideas brought our project to life. Brian's extensive experience in the building industry & working with municipalities was invaluable.

**★★★★★ — Troy Creed, Oct. 2020**

> 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 team 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 drafting all the way through the permitting process and worked with many other trades along the way to help complete our plan packet.  We look forward to working with Brian and his team at Forum Design again soon on our future investment property project.

> Brian Ahearn at Forum Design provided full drafting services for an 8088 sf remodel and addition design project for us and his drawings were approved the FIRST plan review through the Town of Queen Creek, amazing!  Brian was a delight to work with and I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting design and drafting for their project.  Thanks again Brian.
