Structural calculations
We are UK-chartered engineers with extensive expertise in analysing and designing structures made from steel, concrete, timber, and masonry. Our work spans from early-stage concept visuals to complete construction drawings using advanced CAD software. Every design is thoroughly engineered to meet regulatory and client standards. Our practice is rooted in accuracy, safety, and structural integrity.
Steel connection design
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.
CAD drawings
We offer a complete CAD drawing service encompassing the entire structural design process, from early-stage sketches through to intricate final drawings. With the use of cutting-edge CAD tools, our team produces precise documentation aimed at supporting flawless on-site execution. Each project benefits from a focus on accuracy and constructability at every step.
Checking engineer
Our Category 3 design checks serve to verify that proposed structural solutions are robust, efficient, and compliant with safety standards. We carry out independent evaluations, highlighting any deficiencies and offering refined alternatives. These services are especially critical for temporary works where site safety is paramount. We aim to optimise outcomes while controlling costs and timelines.

Apr 22, 2024 Report
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.
