Our practice is rooted in accuracy, safety, and structural integrity.

We offer expert steel connection design, carried out by experienced UK chartered engineers using IDEA Staticas CBFEM software. From beam-to-column joints to complex multi-member arrangements, every design is crafted with safety and efficiency in mind. Our service ensures compliance with current regulations and delivers practical, cost-effective solutions tailored to your specific build requirements.

We offer a complete CAD drawing service encompassing the entire structural design process, from early-stage sketches through to intricate final drawings.

We used GL Design Services and worked with Gregory, who was efficient, gave detailed structual analysis and reccomendations for the builders. He was very thorough and clear and transparent with pricing and akso fair as the job ended up being very straightforward so he charged less than the original quote. I found Gregory to be expert, honest and trustworthy. I would strongly recommend his services as a safe pair of hands.

Having submitted a brief project outline for our kitchen remodelling project, via the contact form, GL Design Services Ltd were quick to respond and pro-active in understanding our requirements.
Gregory was generously with his time, providing responsive, friendly and professional structural design advice at a reasonable price. Thank you

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 needed to remove two load bearing walls in our house to create an open-plan kitchen. Gregory was very helpful from start to finish and promptly delivered support drawing and calculations for our contractor. Thank you for your help at such a short notice

I found GL Design online, as a company that was local to me that would support the structural designs for our renovation project. With this being our first renovation, I don't mind admitting that I didn't really know what I was doing. As I talked Gregory through what we wanted, he was patient and knowledgeble and made me confident he knew what was needed, whilst providing us with helpful alternative options with the value of his experience. Their price was fair too. I'd have no hesitation in recommending GL Design.
