We hired Minh from PDDA Ltd. to help manage our building project. I got to know Minh through another project he was involved in, which was rather complex and had a lot of municipal hurdles to jump through. Minh's knowledge of the municipal regulations made everything so much easier. His organizational skills, clear communication, and problem-solving were outstanding, keeping the project on schedule and within budget. He was exceptionally responsive to our needs, ensuring our vision was realized. We wholeheartedly recommend Minh and his company to anyone in need of a reliable and dedicated project manager.

We do not hesitate to recommend Minh for any of your projects. He is very knowledgeable, experienced, has a good sense of design, & is a pleasure to work with. He is very thorough in his preparation, incorporating our requirements into the drafting of his designs. His first draft was almost perfect, encompassing most of we envisioned our house to be like! We only made minor revisions. We are confident that Minh would meet your expectations.

We worked with Minh in 2021-2022 to design our forever home. He was patient, professional, and had great communication. He listened carefully and made sure to customize our home to suit some of our specific needs, like making sure our existing furniture fit in the space, building a nook for our upright piano, fitting in a kitchen pantry, and creating a large kitchen in the basement suite. For the exterior, he created a design based off our inspiration images and we love it. Even after receiving our building permit, if we had any questions, he always answered them quickly. We found Minh very easy to work with and would recommend him to anyone.

Minh and his team at PDDA took excellent care of our two family vacation house build. We had specific design ideas but also wanted simplicity to help make it easier to build ourselves. Our build team are all first timers and we’ve had no trouble getting plans and adjustments approved by the building department. Thanks very much! We would definitely use PDDA for a future project

Amy and I have been blessed with working with Minh on our new family house project. He came strongly recommended by our builder and he has exceeded our expectations. Minh’s creativity, dedication to detail and clear communication skills have made the process less stressful than we imagined as this was our first project. Our worries with city requirements were handled with professionalism and resolved to the best outcomes possible. We unfortunately had to make design changes that were major but with Minh’s ability to think out of the box we were able to turn the changes required into even better practical use of design and space. We would strongly recommend Minh and his team.

Minh was amazing to work with. We had such a small space, but the way he designed it, he made it feel very spacious. We did not have to worry about anything from the start he took care of the building permit and even recommended a builder for us. I would definitley work with Minh again. Thanks Minh for everything.

Minh was attentive, prompt to reply and took his time to explain things. I really appreciated his attention to detail and amazing communication. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Minh again and again.

Minh and his team are very quick, efficient and knowledgeable. They helped us with the design, drawings and submissions for our new duplex in Vancouver. There were delays related to the backlog at city hall, but Minh always followed up accordingly and kept us informed during the process. It was a pleasure working with them. Highly recommended.

My family and I have worked with Minh for over a decade, on multiple projects from complete rebuild to renovations. His passion and commitment towards his work and client needs is outstanding. He will listen and address any of our questions and concerns as soon as he can, and is very easy to work with. I will recommend his services to anyone. His designs are clean and practical, and he will use his expertise to help his clients achieve their goals.

It was so refreshing to work with Pinnacle Decision on the design of our first home. Minh's attention to detail, responsiveness and communication was superb. He consistently took time to listen and talk through various aspects of the design and made suggestions on layout that ultimately led to a superior end product. He genuinely cared for us as well as the design. His expertise and thoughtfulness impressed us over and over again. We received permits quickly with only a single minor revision. Good price, great value, highly recommended!

Our family had the pleasure of working with Minh on a main house and laneway when the concept was still relatively new in Vancouver. He was incredibly detailed and professional. Always taking the time to answer our questions, navigating the CoV requirements with ease. We couldn't be happier with how our spaces turned out.

Minh at PPDA Ltd. creates value for his clients through his concise approach. He is knowledgeable, meticulous, & communicative. As a general contractor in the remodeling industry, I can recommend Minh highly and without reservation.

I've reached out to Minh for several projects. Most notably planning an investment build in a city where I was not familiar with the bylaws. Minh guided me through the feasibility of each of my requirements against budget and ensured everything conformed to all bylaws. He is very meticulous and ensures the investor has all the information needed to make optimal decisions. I've also consulted Minh on a basement renovation at my personal residence. After thoroughly reviewing my needs, he proposed a multi-functional layout. Upon project completion, I am more than happy with the usability of the space.

PDDA Ltd. and Minh did a fantastic job in designing our laneway house in Vancouver. Minh was able to meet our request and design us a laneway house that somehow was able to utilize every nook and cranny. Literally there was no wasted space in our design and many visitors to our laneway complimented on how spacious the place is despite its small size. Without being bias we firmly believe we have to best looking laneway house on the block. We are grateful that Minh was able to provide us with such a functional laneway house design and would definitely recommend him to anyone.

Minh was referred to me from a draftsmen in the industry. We were pleasantly surprised not only with the knowledge, but with the amount of professionalism and courtesy Minh and his team use on a daily basis. It is very apparent that customer service and satisfaction are a critical part of the culture he shoots for. His prices are very competitive and inviting and he is fair and transparent, always checking whether or not he is delivering ample value. Would gladly recommend him and his company for Multi family, Single detached, and or projects of scale and volume. I personally will be most definitely working with him again in the future. -AC

I had the pleasure working with Minh for the past few years. We have completed two exciting projects together. Minh is a talented designer and is very knowledgeable with the building code. I find that this is a great advantage during the initial design and brain storming sessions because he already knows the do's and don'ts. I used his firm for the design and for the processing of the permits. Minh is very professional and considerate. He is amazingly dedicated to his craft! I would highly recommend his services to anyone. I am looking forward to our next project!

Precise, confident, and polite. Our experience with PDDA Ltd. has been exceptional. Minh's attention to detail and problem-solving made our project move smoothly from idea to inception. We are using PDDA again for our present project, and would definitely recommend them for your consideration for a professional project.

I've worked with Minh for over a decade now. He has always been courteous, compassionate, and professional to me, my friends and my clients. We have worked on multiple projects together and Minh has been very helpful and resourceful. Minh has gone above and beyond what is expected of an architectural firm. He replies in a timely manner and is always available to answer my questions. Thru my experience it is hard to find a firm or person that is willing to help, to guide, and to care. Minh's hard work and dedication is a true testament to his character, his company and his passion for design. I trust his judgement and advice. Throughout these years, I consider Minh a friend and he will always be the person designing my projects.

I have had the privilege to work with Minh as a colleague for many years. We have had several projects under our belt from the very beginning of the company. While doing the 3D renderings for Minh's projects I found that he was very detailed and meticulous down to the smallest thing. He is a great person to work with and would not hesitate to work on another project with him.

Minh is professional, thoughtful and meticulous in his designs. My husband and I worked with him in building our home. What a pleasure! He took care to incorporate our special requests as well as consider practical aspects of storage, efficiency and convenience. I highly recommend Minh as an architect.

Minh Ta designed a very unique home for us. We gave him our wish list and he put all our wishes into our "one of a kind house". Minh is extremely professional without being distant. It was amazing how many details he took care of for us with Vancouver City hall. He held our hands (figuratively speaking) and was always available. I would not hesitate to recommend him to friends and family. It is seldom one meets such a trustworthy and talented professional.

I have worked with Minh from Pinnacle Decision Design on a few projects, including my own home which we are still very happy with after living there for many years. We've gotten many compliments on his design of the house. He was always great to deal with from start to finish, from preliminary sketches to taking care of the whole permit application process. I have dealt with many other designers and architects in my years in the construction industry and PDDA would be my top choice for my next project.

PDDA is amazing to work with. They are professional and experienced. Their knowledge in current code and by-laws make designing and planning fast and easy. They know how to navigate through the development and building permit process. I would recommend PDDA anytime.

I have worked with Minh and PDDA Ltd. for over 10 years on multiple projects. He's designed and over saw my personal housing projects. He always has his client's wants and needs in mind while designing his houses. His work ethic is phenomenal, always ready to answer questions and acknowledge suggestions. His designs and open concepts always makes the house feel spacious and comfortable. My family and I highly recommend Minh to anyone thinking of taking that first step in building a home.

Could not be happier with what PDDA Ltd has created for our home. We wanted to have more of a connection to the outdoors and really didn't have much of an idea of how or even where to start. Minh was recommended to us by a friend and we are so glad that he was the one on this project. From our first meeting, Minh put us at ease by walking us through the whole process and taking the lead in dealing with the city and permits and all else that came with this project. Minh communicated with us throughout the project and was always available for all my never-ending questions and last-minute changes. Our project was quite small compared to other PDDA jobs but that did not detract from the care and attention Minh provided. We would not hesitate to recommend PDDA to all my friends and family members. Thanks, Minh

I worked with pinnacle decision on our custom built house. Minh was amazing to work with, he was able to design a house that fit all our needs and was able to establish a great working relationship were he was available to take my call, schedule meetings around our availability and have open discussions to make changes we felt fit for us. Minh also accommodated all our requests. It just wasn’t the design aspect of working with him but also his involvement with the city and submitting the plans and finding ways to expedite our proposal to the city so that we could get started on the build as soon as possible. Even after our build Minh checked in this us and if I had any questions he was readily available. Minh was also great in working with our builder and trades to ensure that his design matched the build and met all the city requirements. I was very pleased with Pinnacle that I recommended them to two other friends who both hired him and feedback from them is they really enjoyed working with Minh My experience overall was great and never had any negative interactions w Minh.

Minh is a fantastic architect, and is very easy to work with. He helped design 2 houses for my family. He is extremely knowledgeable and thorough. We were able to ask any questions, and he was always patient when explaining anything to us. He is such a great guy, and we had a lot of fun working with him. I would definitely suggest his services to anyone without hesitation.

Minh at Pinnacle Decision helped us conceptualize, plan, draw and receive approved permits from the city for our extensive home renovations. He was always willing to discuss the plans in detail, providing context for architectural and design choices in an understandable way, and worked well with the other consultants and contractors on the project. He was quick to respond to our questions, timely with city submissions and a huge support in arranging logistics for the building permit and amendments. If you want your drawings done right, ask Minh!

East Van Laneway House

We could not be happier with the laneway house PDDA designed for us. Throughout the project PDDA communicated well to us and guided us through the steps and reasoning behind each of their design decisions. Initially our place only had one full bath but we really wanted another full bath in our master bedroom As laneway houses had limited square footage we did not think it would be possible but PDDA somehow worked their magic in square footage calculations and special exemptions and somehow managed to fit a full bath upstairs in our master bedroom and we couldn't be happier. In addition PDDA designed our place so that there would be no wasted space. Every weird roofing angle was somehow turned into storage area. Throughout the construction period PDDA was constantly on-site to ensure the laneway house was constructed according to their designs. Many friends that come over to visit our small laneway are simply amazed by the efficient use of space and design. Whenever we decided to build a full house in the future, PDDA will definitely be the ones we turn to.

We removed the existing 1 bedroom and bathroom on the top floor of our home and expanded it to include 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and our laundry. Minh Ta was the designer and was very professional and thorough on our project. Minh managed the entire process of submitting the permits with the City of Vancouver, and was always available and open to hear our concerns and make modifications when we had them. I would highly recommend Minh for home design work.

Minh Ta was introduced to us by our builder to help design out family home in Kitsilano Vancouver. We were using another architect for our previous home builds but was recommended Minh because he had extensive knowledge in home design and architecture for new Vancouver home builds. As you may or may not know, the building codes in Vancouver unique, difficult to understand and interpret into real life designs without incurring subjective review of the City of Vancouver. Rules are ever changing in Vancouver and having a competent and experienced architect is key to successfully submitting and passing a set of plans for your dream home in an efficiently timed manner. Our application process to final acceptance was almost exactly four months which had blown away previous estimates of year to year and half (advised to us by other friends who had build recently). The reason for this quick turnaround was due to Minhès knowledge and ability to create our dreams in a passable set of plans under the current building codes of the times. Minh is highly informative, helpful, a great listener and I would recommend him to anyone hoping to build their dream home.
