David R. Smith Design Inc.

Taking on a huge project like completely rebuilding your home can be overwhelming but David made the process so easy. He not only has an amazing ability to create something fabulous but also to deal with the ridiculous government bureaucracy allowing his clients to relax and maintain sanity that would otherwise be tested greatly.

I really doubted I'd deal with someone who I both liked and trusted, but I found both in David.

David was very thorough with our construction project and we were kept well informed each step of the way leading up to the city permits. He listened to what we wanted and constructed a 3D model showing what the final project would look like once completed. He was always quick to reply by phone or e-mail whenever you had a question to ask and had time to listen to each idea we had. I would recommend David to anyone who requires permit drawings or architectural design for their home.

David's approach is just like his motto: honest and relaxed.

His honesty included realistic timelines and some great recommendations on how to save money.

Although David was very laid back, he was also very thorough, meticulous, professional and lightning quick with follow ups. There was a perfect balance between sense of urgency and a relaxed and pleasant manner.

In addition, David was knowledgeable about zoning bi-laws, construction and home renovations. He was the perfect designer!

David is a completely professional and highly proficient designer. From initial contact through to the approval and delivery of our building permit, we have been continually impressed with his attention to detail and ability to stay on top of our project. He listened carefully to our requirements and designed a garage that reflected everything we asked for while keeping within our budget. We will gladly hire him again!

David did an excellent job designing our home and guiding us through the permit process. He is smart, professional and reasonably priced. If you're in the market for a renovation or new home, you can do no better than David R. Smith Design. Really.

David was a pleasure to work with, responsive, detailed and very professional. Our plan was to build a garage but in order to accomplish this we needed to move the garage to the rear of the property. He was available every step of the way even with all the changes we tossed his way. Definitely would reccomend his services.

David R. Smith worked with us to create blueprints for a new garage, to replace our existing structure. Working with David was a extremely positive experience; his expertise and professionalism made the process quick and easy, ranging from our initial meetings to discuss wants/needs, to revising plans and applying for city permits. Throughout the design process, David was responsive to feedback, but also able to provide us with clear guidance, and the turnaround time for the plans - despite numerous other commitments - was very quick. We would recommend David's services without reservation and we will certainly go to him again with any future projects.

David R. Smith Design is a winning design solution for homeowners. David is exceptionally client focussed, a great listener, and confidently efficient. Response times were amazing – on more than one occasion we sent emails while in-store (cabinet and appliance shopping) seeking clarity on measurements. The promptness of his reply saved us hours by not having to make return trips.
Design options were creative and well thought out. His understanding of how families need to live (now and as they grow), resulted in a plan that optimizes use of our available space. The process felt more like a fluid conversation versus a transaction – very clear that David has his client’s best interest in mind.
Like many other comments listed here, our experience was entirely worry-free. Kudos David, the accolades from everyone here are well deserved.

David was fantastic to work with. We found David on Home Stars as we were in seek of a architect who would take our conceptual design and turn them into drawings which would be appropriate for the city to issue a permit. David understood our requirements, drew up the plans, had them submitted to the city for approval and was able to deliver a permit from the city for construction to begin! David also retained and coordinated the structural and mechanical consultants. David was a pleasure to work with, and i would use and recoomend him again!

David did an EXCELLENT job for me. He took the time to walk me through the process. Everything was taken care by David. I would highly recommend him.
