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.

We had some concerns about some structural elements of our home and asked GL Design Services to complete a review to let us know whether any work was needed to bring them up to scratch. Gregory was excellent from start to finish, he was very knowledgable and took time to explain things to us and present the different options for correcting them. He also drew up very detailed plans within a reasonably short timeframe so we could start approaching builders. Even though their quote was not the cheapest we would have no hesitation in recommending GL Design Services, they're worth every penny.
