It was a pleasure to work with David and Robin while renovating our home. David listened and understood what we wanted and worked with us to develop the perfect plans. Our reno included pushing out the back of the house to enlarge the kitchen and master bath and add a mud room and full bath. In addition, the hall bath was renovated and the existing three-season room was transformed into a vaulted family room. Robin helped us with the planning and design of the bathroom, kitchens and designed shelves for around the living room fireplace and for the laundry. The professionals she brought us to for tile, cabinets, faucets etc. were also very helpful. We highly recommend both David and Robin!

David and Robin are absolutely amazing! They helped my husband and I remodel our condo in Jersey City which wasn’t an easy task dealing with all the restrictions and regulations in a highrise building. They were extremely professional, responsive, and super friendly! They helped us convert our two bedroom into a three bedroom in addition to remodeling our kitchen and two bathrooms. David’s drawings were extremely detailed and passed the approval process with our building and the city on the first go! Robin helped me a lot with designing my kitchen and bathrooms and introduced us to amazing vendors. I highly recommend these two and plan on using them for future projects!!

We worked with David Bailey on our home renovation project. David is a pleasure to work with, has a great eye for design, and translated our wish list into a beautifully renovated and updated 1920’s home. David was professional and very responsive throughout our entire project. We have and will continue to recommend Forefront Designs.

We couldn’t be happier with David! He truly made our renovation a dream come true for us. David brought a wealth of knowledge and expertise to helping us plan our design. He was very professional and courteous. We have recommended David to anyone looking for a architect. We will use him again in our future project!

We hired David Bailey of Forefront Designs as the architect of our major home renovation project and addition. We could not be more pleased. He was creative, insightful, professional and easy to work with. He made himself available every step of the way and we are thrilled with the outcome. We also hired Robin Winter-Bailey of RWB Designs for guidance and assistance with all interior selections including kitchen, baths and furnishings. She also helped manage our project and assisted with timelines for completion. We were lucky to have this professional team to make our dream home a reality!

His vast knowledge about the town and variances made the entire process smooth. David was professional and responsive throughout the project. We have and will continue to recommend Forefront Designs!

David and his team were a pleasure to work with. David's experience and knowledge working with town planning and zoning were exactly what we needed for the job. His design of our addition went above and beyond what we envisioned. David was able to modernize our 1920's home to an open concept feel, while maintaining the integrity of our home's colonial charm. David’s professionalism and thoughtful advice were immeasurable for key decisions that were made throughout the project timeline. I would highly recommend the work of David and his team.

As an interior designer, I have had the privilege of working with David Bailey of Forefront Designs. He is a talented architect who is a joy to work with for both client and professional. He is a great listener and has the ability for taking a clients' "wish list" and turn it into an architectural reality. We have worked on residential projects both large and small and he gives the same attention to detail regardless of the budget and scope of project. I enjoy the collaboration, which leads to a better design and experience throughout the project. I highly recommend David's Company. On a side note, his construction documents are clean and easy to read, with color photos of existing conditions. This is an indicator of how organized his projects are and helps in visualization for both professional and clients alike.

I have worked with David Bailey Architect and his firm for over 20 years. His work is exceptional. He knows how to interpret his Clients needs and styles and brings them into fruition with ease. He has solid connections with building departments and inspectors and knows how to project budgets on target. His team includes his wife Robin who manages every detail on his projects and is friendly, upbeat and professional. I highly recommend Forefront Designs.

I had David draw up plans to renovate a kitchen in my Hoboken brownstone. He and his wife both worked on the job. David completely redesigned my kitchen while Robin helped me with finishes, colors and style. Both of these professionals kept me to my budget and timeline. I would highly recommend them!!!

Forefront Designs' helped me make some decisive changes in renovating my apt. I live in a pre-war co-op building in NY so I was limited to what I can do. David and Robin helped me look at my options differently. Through the use of color, textures and some new fixtures my apartment is more open, more inviting and more sophisticated. Not only the current update but they gave me some ideas for the future when my budget permits. Everybody at Forefront Designs was a pleasure to work with and they were very responsive to my needs and concerns. A highly recommended team of professionals.

I hired Forefront to draw up plans for designing a kitchen renovation and adding a front porch. The job included pushing out the back of the house to increase the kitchen space, renovating a bath attached to the kitchen, and submitting the plans to the town for a zoning variance. The plans were well designed and executed. During the zoning review, the committee complimented the design and commented that the changes were a benefit to the look of the town. We still receive compliments on the design, and most visitors think the porch was always there. I would use David again, and I would most definitely recommend Forefront to anyone looking for an architect.
