From start to finish, GSE was great to work with and provided a design that met the owner's requirements. I also want to commend GSE for their responsiveness and willingness to work with us during unforeseen circumstances that required alterations to their design. It was a pleasure working with GSE.
Dunn Building Company has enjoyed a great relationship with GSE for many years. We have had the great opportunity to partner with them on several design-build projects and work under them for several different owners. Regardless of where they may be on the flow chart, they operate with the same consistency of professionalism every time. They are the best I have seen in my thirty years regarding scheduling and delivery.
Whether I need surveying services, design work, or other professional services, my first call is always to GSE. Their depth of technical expertise and outstanding customer service make them my preferred engineering firm.
GSE did a great job designing Lazy Magnolia's new 16,500 square-foot facility expansion. They took the time to understand the construction timeline and how it would impact ongoing operations and performed the necessary analysis and work instructions to make sure that production wasn't disrupted.
