David R. Smith Design Inc.

As a professional in the construction / renovation industry i feel i can speak from years of experience . I have worked with many designers, architects , project managers and inspectors . David stands out from many because of his personal approach. He is very professional , polite , affordable , punctual , reliable and accessible. I would highly recommend David for any projects .

David has been brilliant to work with! He produced beautiful designs for my new laneway home and stick handled all of the permits and communications with the City and trades. I am really appreciating his network and love the contractor that he connected me with.

David is extraordinarily professional with exquisite communication skills and exemplary work ethic. He is a skilled architect and continues to provide guidance and clarification to the contractor as we move forward on the project, and he is helping as we encounter unexpected challenges with the site.

David is a great guy, very kind and generous. I would rely on him for future projects and recommend David to anyone needing an architect. David is awesome!

I hired David after a failed experience with someone else for the same project. Working with David only left me with 1 regret...not hiring him the first time around!

He was knowledgeable, responsive and beyond fair! He helped us take our vision for a third floor addition and improved upon it well beyond what we thought to do. He helped us guide the committee process, permitting and so much more!

I can't say enough positive things about my experience with David and would highly recommend! 11/10 stars!

David R. Smith designed our two-storey house from our wish list. We didn't have a clear idea of what the house would look like before we hired David and he helped us realize our vision. He did a great job including everything we wanted and designing a home that not only has a beautiful exterior but that also suits the surrounding architecture of the neighborhood. Even after his job was completed he continued to work with us and our general contractor as well as our interior designers providing advice and guidance to ensure a successful build. We highly recommend David R. Smith Design for home design.

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!
