Davis Design Group

What Davis Design Group does

Davis Design Group, LLC is a privately held, full-service architectural firm headquartered in Edmond, Oklahoma, operating across the Oklahoma and North Texas markets. The firm traces its origins to 1966 when John Thomas co-founded Phelps, Spitz, Ammerman and Thomas in Oklahoma City, evolving through several partner transitions before Jim Davis assumed the presidency in the 1990s and rebranded the practice as Davis Design Group. The firm designs and manages approximately $10 million in construction value annually across six market verticals: Education, Faith-Based, Public/Government, Commercial, Residential, and Industrial.

Its core service offering comprises architecture, interior design, and master planning, supplemented by feasibility studies, historic preservation, programming, 3-D modeling, architectural renderings, graphic design, cost estimating, value engineering, ADA compliance, construction management, and site analysis. The underlying technology stack centers on computer-integrated design — specifically 3-D modeling and architectural rendering for project visualization — capabilities the firm has emphasized since integrating computer technology into the workplace in the 1990s.

The firm operates a project-based professional services revenue model, with no publicly disclosed pricing and engagements typically scoped per project depending on complexity and construction value. Go-to-market is relationship-led: the firm wins work through long-standing client relationships (e.g., Edmond Public School District since the 1980s), repeat institutional clients (City of Edmond), referrals, and design competitions (e.g., Edmond Public Library). The firm is founder/management-owned under Jim Davis, with no disclosed venture capital or private equity backing, and operates with a small team of architects plus administrative support.
