> Working with Andrew from GM Drafting & Design Inc. has been a great experience. Not only did Andrew take into consideration all of our "wishes" but went above and beyond in making recommendations that fit our style. Andrew is dedicated to his work and was ALWAYS available to answer our endless number of questions and made numerous changes based on us being unsure and never once complained. I would highly recommend the services of GM Drafting & Design Inc. to anyone!

**★★★★★ — manjugaurian, May 2014**

> We had been referred to Andrew by a friend. Our experience from the onset with him was incredible. He met with us and put aside a lot of time. He listened, took notes and made sure he answered all of our questions. He came back to us with a plan in the promised time line. I have to say it was bang on. Andrew exceeded our expectations. The house design is creative, original and incorporates our needs.
> Since plan completion he has made himself readily available to queries by other professionals. We have built before and the experience has been nothing like this.

**★★★★★ — ladysport101, Aug. 2013**

> We were asked to open a second retail sport shop in the multi-million dollar sport and health building called Fortius in Burnaby BC.
> We have a retail footwear specialty store called LadySport in Vancouver where we cater to hard to fit feet .
> In 1983 we opened LadySport in a finished space and therefore have not had experience building out a store from scratch ....taking on a contractor and submitting design permits etc.!
> The prospect of this was daunting and when I turned to a friend who heads up a large construction company...he put me on to Andrew Mitchell to help with the drawings and related permits for this new space.
>
> His work was flawless (that comes from our contractor and my brother who is an architect)
> He always got back to me immediately when I had a question for him.
> He was extremely patient with a 'rookie' client.
> He guided me on many other aspects of the project as long as it was within his scope of practice.
>
> He was tremendous to work with and I am grateful for his involvement in our project, FitFirst, due to open late Sept. 2013
>
> I would recommend Andrew to anyone without hesitation
>
> Sincerely
>  Phil Moore

This home is a great reflection of that. Not to be confused wit…
