David R. Smith Design Inc.

Very happy working with David, he was able to incorporate all of our requests into a design that makes sense for our space. He was also very helpful and responsive in walking us through the entire process from design to permit. Highly recommend.

We are thrilled to share the exceptional experience we had working with David on our home renovation project. From the beginning David demonstrated creativity and professionalism that exceeded our expectations. My wife and I had the opportunity to purchase in our preferred neighborhood, with the catch that the house was a project. Having only a general sense of how renovation projects evolve and who we needed to contact; we are thankful that David was our first stop. His guidance and knowledge were crucial in the early days of our project when we needed it most.
David was able to craft a stunning and practical design completely aligned with our expectations, and with relatively minimal input. It was a superb demonstration of his ability to translate our own disorganized thoughts, wishes and seemingly random pictures into a vision for our home. We also appreciated Davids commitment to ensuring we received the best value for our money. He not only delivered a design that exceeded our aesthetic desires but also provided invaluable insights on optimizing our budget for maximum impact.
David wears many hats in the design and renovation process and beyond permitting and construction drawings his 3D modeling allowed us to see exactly what our home could be. We wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone beginning their own renovation journey.

Been working on our forever home project with David for over 2 years now. Nothing but care and class! He designed our beautiful home from the ground up on what is an extemely challenging lot. Took on committee of adjustements and permits with an expert touch. He works closely with our general contractor to ensure nothing is amiss throughout the whole process. Seamless experience. With David you are in safe hands.

Over the last 10 years, weve had the pleasure of working with an exceptional Designer who truly exceeded all expectations! David not only brought our multiple home addition dreams to life, but also crafted a stunning concept for our pool house.

From the initial consultation to the final reveal, David showcased an unparalleled level of expertise and creativity. His ability to listen attentively to our ideas and translate them into innovative designs was truly impressive.

Working with David is a bit of a journey from conception to construction. It all starts with a multitude of concepts, accompanied by impressive 3D visualizations, which really helped us to visualize the end result. Once we landed on a design, David led us through navigating the complex process of dealing with the Committee of Adjustments. His expertise in this area was invaluable, as he not only handled the intricacies of the process, but also represented us effectively. Once we successfully cleared the Committee of Adjustments, David was able to obtain the building permit, and construction began!

We highly recommend David to anyone seeking a Designer who not only excels in design innovation but also is able to take you through the approval and construction review process.

David was an excellent choice for our renovation project and well suited. We developed a design timeline once contracted to understand when the variances and permit would be approved, and David met this timeline with no delay. David's drawings are neat, clear, and concise, and his 3D model helped us understand and visual the space for the renovation, down to very specific details. David always went the extra mile to his provide input and expertise which we took value in.
Now into construction, David has been supporting with any drawing changes that we require to update our contractor.

We have had a fantastic experience working with David and would 100% recommend his services. From his knowledge and expertise in design and construction, to always being in consistent communication with us -- we couldn't be happier with the process of our basement re-design. David walked us through basement design ideas and options for our space, explaining all the details and always happy to answer any questions and concerns we had. He was very patient with us through numerous rounds of changes, taking the time to ensure that our requirements were fulfilled. In addition to being an exceptional designer, his professionalism and kindness make it easy and enjoyable to work with him. David also took care of the entire permit process for us and his in-depth knowledge of this aspect is very evident. It's been nothing but a smooth and seamless experience. While David's primary responsibilities are tapering off for our renovation, he has reassured us that he will remain accessible throughout the project's duration. We would not hesitate to work with David on any future projects and will definitely be recommending him to friends and family!

We found David online and have had nothing but a great relationship with him. From day 1 he was professional and open to working with all ideas while suggesting some great ones to help build the picture of what we wanted our home to look like.
Our story goes back into 2019 as we had complete plans for our home and he introduced us to his contractor who was amazing as well! We had the first part of our renovation complete where David had everything in place to continue on in a timely manner. Everything was by the books and we had little surprises from the project.
The 2nd part came into effect in 2023 where we had the ability to complete the next part. He helped again go over everything, getting the permits and suggesting extending our underpin which has gone tremendous so far (still underway as I write). This he did at no added cost!
David has been a big part in making our home into what we would like it to look like being our forever home! We're very fortunate to have chosen him in our plans, and I know when we get into the last stage of what we would like, he will be there with his great designs, ideas and professionalism!

Couldn't be happier with David. R. Smith Design Inc.
We are building an extention (garage with rooms over the top). David did all the design iterations and dealt with the City for permits etc on our behalf. The whole process was seamless! His follow up was amazing, he answered all our questions in a timely manner and never made us feel like we had a silly question (which I'm sure I had plenty). The permits were granted ahead of schedule, and I am in no doubt that David's reputation with the City preceeds him. David is extremely professional and just generally a really nice person to do business with. I am already recommending him to anyone who asks!

David was recommended to us by neighbours he had recently help plan for their home renovation. He has been extremely helpful guiding us through the planning and building permit application and committee of adjustments process. He was very patient and always answered our questions professionally and in a timely manner. We would highly recommend him to anyone in Toronto planning a home addition and/or renovation.

David is so much more than just a designer. He helped us through the entire process of drawings, CoA, applications and permitting. He even connected us with our GC. He was incredibly patient with us, going through multiple iterations of drawings so our needs were met and working well with our designers and other service providers. He was very professional and meticulous. He took us through the whole CoA process without us having to lift a finger. I would highly recommend David for any type of renovation drawings, especially if you're looking for someone to assist with permitting too. Thank you David for everything you did for us!
