Beyond the basic architectural services, the practice provides expanded services of design/build, "turn key", construction management, landscape design, and furniture design. Specializing in the design and construction of residential buildings, the practice also assists clients with home improvement projects of all sizes, developing cost effective designs from their ideas and wish lists.

By offering a "one step" service of design and construction, clients benefit from the continuity of dealing with one person, who is responsible for the entire project from start to finish. The construction management service provides a cost effective and timely approach to the project.

Over 20 years of experience

Trust, reassurance and dependability are the three pillars of practice at Clive Brett Smith Architect Inc. These are the foundations on which the practice has delivered its services for over twenty years.

Electronic Building Permit Applications

In November 2011, the City of Toronto mandated that all building permit applications include a full digital set of every document being submitted on paper, including all application forms, reports and checklists. This is the first step by the City of Toronto to move towards fully paperless permit applications by 2013.

As a result of this new requirement, many building permit applications have been thrown out, refused or simply delayed as applicants rush to prepare the digital counter part. Clive Brett Smith Architect Inc. is one of the only firms in the City of Toronto to offer a comprehensive electronic permit application service.

Expert Witness

With over 35 years of hands on experience in both architecture and construction, Clive B. Smith is regularly called upon to provide his expert analysis on projects that have resulted in legal action.

Highly meticulous and thorough, this service is most useful for those seeking an expert in the matters pertaining to architecture, care of duty roles and responsibilities, project management and code ethics.
