“Thank you for your dedication and hard work with our construction project at The Orchard in Itasca. We appreciate your willingness to take on this project with such short notice and challenging timeframe for completion. This project required fast turn around time with design drawings and a participative process allowing input from our staff and lay leadership. We are very pleased with the results of your design and planning and believe we are in process to create the best campus possible at this location. Thank you again for partnering with us to begin ministry in our new location at Itasca. We hope to have the opportunity to work together again in the future.”

"Throughout the process of his involvement with our renovation and addition project, Todd has maintained good communication. While architects have a reputation for being artists who can sometimes be difficult to deal with, Todd has been a joy to work with. We have found him to be a man of integrity who operates his business with the highest of ethical standards. He is fair and has looked out for the best interests of our church. He has also been open to our ideas and has been willing to make changes to his drawings whenever we requested them. I might add that we liked his initial proposal so much that change requests have been few and far between."

"Given a tight schedule, Carlson Architecture, Ltd. prepared a beautiful design and provided complete and accurate information to the zoning and planning officials. In short, Carlson Architecture has exceeded our expectations on all levels. Todd’s ability to stay on schedule and budget while navigating all the codes and regulations was a huge help to us. I would highly recommend Todd and Carlson Architecture to provide architectural and design services for your church."

“I will gladly give you a recommendation of high regard. The test of the work is how well the building does what we need it to do. The high school has served our purposes well since we have occupied all of the new and renovated spaces. The culture in the school has changed dramatically in a very positive direction. That was greatly influenced by how you listened to what people said they needed and wanted, transforming that into the designs for the classroom settings and ancillary areas.”

His work was timely, rate competitive, and design innovation of a caliber that surpassed our expectations.
