Sometimes an independent professional is required to perform a sanity check of the proposed structural design to ensure that the proposal developed by others is structurally sound and safe to implement. This is especially important for temporary work projects during any building demolition works to make sure that everyone working on site will be safe. This formal check is called a Category 3 check and GL Design Services have extensive experience in performing these checks on a wide range of construction and demolition projects. The actual check is carried out to closely study and review the proposed design and to highlight any issues and suggest safer design modifications and changes before any work goes ahead. Our team of experienced civil engineers will use our years of training and expertise to ensure the safety of the design and to provide you with added value during the checking process. [H2] What we look for during the CAT3 check GL Design Services will conduct a thorough check of your proposed design to make sure it is competent and will highlight any design issues or faults we find. We will suggest safe design modifications and if we feel there is a need, we can advise you of other design options you could take that will give you more desirable results. With our design checking services, we will always look at ways to improve the design and where possible to make it more cost-effective with more efficient planning and use of appropriate building materials. Most of the designs we check are completely sound but any changes we do suggest will depend on the individual project and its end purpose. We may make recommendations that would be more cost-effective or less labour intensive by using different building materials or design modifications. Our dedicated team work to the highest of standards and our outstanding reputation is built on our trustworthiness, attention to detail and our ability to save our client’s some money wherever possible. Our experienced team are dedicated to maintaining our level of excellence. [H3] Meeting your budget and timelines For anyone wanting to undertake a building project in their home, you must keep control of your project’s budget and timescale. No one wants their budget to run away with them or to have construction delays that mean you are left hanging for weeks on end. These things can happen without having a sound project plan to follow and an accurate costing of your labour and building materials. By using our comprehensive CAT3 design checking services, your designs will be reviewed and we will make both mandatory and optimal design changes that you need to ensure your project comes in on time and on budget. [H3] Ensuring the safety of your property GL Design Services perform CAT3 or 3rd Party Checks for a wide variety of construction projects, for example for any temporary works involved with the demolition and dismantling of old outbuildings for a proposed kitchen extension, adding an extra room above an attached garage, and more. No matter what your design plans are, you will want your construction team to be working from plans that are ideal for your intended application. Our CAT3 design checking services will ensure this happens and that the stability of your premises will not be compromised. You will be issued with a Design/ Check Certificate to meet the needs of your mortgage or loan company requirements.

Your Diagnosis
Before revealing the machine’s verdict, predict the BS score for each signal. Higher = more BS (more fluff, less verifiable substance). Drag each slider, then submit to compare your judgment against the engine.
Information Density
0 / 30
Read the Narrative & headings: do hard facts (prices, dates, numbers) outweigh fluff power-words?
Semantic Coherence
0 / 20
Compare the homepage promise against the sub-page reality. Do they hold the same line?
Trust & Proof
0 / 20
Weigh review mentions against actual external proof links. Claims without verification = theatre.
Commodity Fingerprint
0 / 15
Check headings & narrative against the industry clichés in the setup above.
Identity & Authority
0 / 15
Inspect the schema: is there real Organization/Person identity with sameAs links, or gaps?
Your predicted BS score
0 / 100
Stuck? Reveal the heuristic lens — how the deterministic page-auditor reads each signal (no AI, pure pattern rules)
These are the structural rules a local, deterministic auditor applies — the same lens you can use to judge each signal. They describe what to look for, not this company’s result.
Information Density
Classify each sentence as substantive or hollow. Grounding markers — numbers, currencies, dates, technical units, named entities — outweigh marketing adjectives. When fluff sits right next to hard evidence, the fluff is forgiven.
Semantic Alignment
Pull the main entities out of the H1, then check whether they actually recur through the body. A page that announces one thing and then talks about another drifts. Headings with no real sentences underneath read as pseudo-substance.
Trust & Proof
Count trust words (review, testimonial, rating, verified) against real outbound proof links (Google, Trustpilot, Clutch, G2, Yelp). Lots of trust language with zero verification links is trust theatre. Unlinked logo galleries count against it.
Commodity Fingerprint
Look at how much sentence length varies. Natural writing varies its rhythm; templated or mass-produced copy is statistically uniform. Very low variation reads as commodity content — unless unique named entities break the pattern.
Identity & Authority
Inspect the JSON-LD. Is there an Organization or Person schema, and does it carry sameAs links to real external profiles (LinkedIn, socials)? Missing schema or no identity declaration signals an anonymous entity.
Want to apply this lens yourself? The free BS Indicator Chrome extension runs these heuristic checks live on any page. Bear in mind it is a single-page, deterministic tool — it relies only on pattern rules for the page in front of it and does not perform the cross-page semantic correlation this audit uses, so its readout is a starting lens, not the full verdict.

This site is a forensic model of substance over signal. It leverages technical jargon not as fluff, but as a precise description of deliverables, and its trust signals are unusually granular and verifiable.

To reach a near-zero score, integrate the ICE and Engineering Council registration numbers directly into the footer for instant verification. Add sameAs schema links for all named engineers, including Ewa, to verify their professional credentials. Replace generic labels like ‘Our services’ with ‘Engineering Deliverables’ to fully eliminate template fingerprints.
The website demonstrates high alignment with the Structural Engineering sub-sector of the Home Improvement industry. The content focuses strictly on technical deliverables such as structural calculations and CAT3 checks rather than generic aesthetic architectural fluff.
“The score of 9 is driven primarily by minor trust theatre flags on sub-pages where reviews are mentioned without direct proof links, and a small commodity fingerprint from standard template headers. The site represents the extreme low end of the BS spectrum due to high technical specificity and named professional accountability.”
