We were delighted with an outstanding service from GL Design Services Ltd. Gregory responded swiftly to our initial enquiry and arranged a visit within a week. He was both meticulous and prompt in preparing an excellent and thorough report which included detailed calculations, and clear drawings with explanatory notes, which enabled our builder to proceed with confidence. We recommend his high-quality services without hesitation.

Gregory was knowledgeable, thorough and professional in his approach to the site visit he conducted for us at our home. He undertook structural checks and identified if walls were load bearing before we look to remove them for a reconfiguration project of our adjoining bathroom and back bedroom. We totally recommend his services.

We had a relatively small modification we wanted to make to our property and had a great experience with GL Design Services. Gregory was very responsive, informative and delivered the design documents very quickly - I also learned a lot about my house as an added bonus. I will definitely be using GL Design Services for any future works.
