David R. Smith Design Inc.

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.

We were planning to make some changes to the exterior of our house. We planned to change the roof line on our house. David gave us advice on what the new roof should look like. He also created the architectural drawings and site plans that allowed us to get the permit from the city. David was great to work with. He was always available to answer my questions. As well, he got the job done quickly. I would definitely recommend his services to others.

We hired David after we had trouble with a previous service provider. His work ethic and attention to detail was refreshing. He was easily accessible if we had any questions about the project and he exceeded expectations of any task we asked of him. We have recommended him to at least two other individuals. Thank you for all your help!

We hired David to do a design for our kitchen and dining room renovation. David accommodated his schedule to come earlier than expected to help us get a design in before a sale at Ikea, and also mocked up some designs directly in the Ikea planning tool for us to review. He thought of a layout that we hadn't thought of that we thought was great and we went with. He also submitted the permits and arranged for engineering drawings very efficiently and with more than enough time to start our renovations. I would recommend David to anyone thinking about doing renovations on their house.

We hired David to create drawings for a home addition and also to act as liaison with the city to obtain the appropriate permits. David did a fantastic job of listening to our needs and designing a functional space, in addition to offering ideas of how we could alter our interior space to be more functional. His pleasant manner, professionalism and quick turnaround were very much appreciated.

My back deck is due for replacement, and Dave did the drawings for me, which I'll use to get quotes on having the work done. Dave walked me through some options, after assessing my needs and he made the effort to understand how I anticipate using the space. He was very knowledgeable about code requirements as well.
I'm very pleased with the design he came up with, which effectively addresses the part I found most challenging - where to put the stairs given the access to the backyard, walk-out basement, location of gas line etc.
Now I just have to get it built in the spring!
