David is a civil/structural engineer that listens to what I want, and then lays out what he believes to be the most cost effective approach to achieve my objectives. When I inquire about default material parameters, deflection/creep limits, seismic, etc., David describes his standard (code compliant) procedures/assumptions and then is genuinely open to using alternate (more restrictive) material parameters and/or deflection/creep limits to achieve my desired objectives… all the while appraising me through thoughtful discussion of those action’s consequences/costs. Put another way, David’s knowledge depth & confidence begets his flexibility to not force-fit my project to the way he always does it. Lastly, David delivers on our mutually agreed approach in the timeline to which we initially agreed. It is truly a pleasure to work with David.

I have worked with David Smith for over 30 years. As a high end residential builder, developer and designer, I handle all aspects of the building process and Im very much a nuts and bolts thinker. Due to this I sit down with David Smith on every job to discuss every detail in order for the actual construction process to go as smoothly as possible. He is great to work with! I expect a lot from the people I work with and David Smith has always gone up and beyond in his service.

Ive used Davids engineering services for many years on all types of residential projects. He is responsive to requests, offers creative solutions to the various problems that come up in construction and is very thorough. He has a great positive attitude and is a pleasure to work with.
