      Helpful and Efficient

      GFE helped us out with an extension on our home. David & Lucas were friendly, helpful and turned our report out quickly. Would recommend these guys if you're looking for a soil test or slab design on the Gold Coast.

      Did soil testing and foundation engineering in 5 days, I am glad that I used David it was easy.

      David was helpful on the phone and also recommended that I didn't need the slope stability or retaining wall certified, just the soil test and foundation design engineered. Nice, easy and fast.
