Who We Are

We are a small business operating since 2017 as GBdesign, but were

previously Aceplanning and operated for almost 10 years. We are based in

Cloghan, County Offaly. We have had planning application lodged in many

counties such as Offaly, Galway, Roscommon, Meath, Dublin, Laoise, Tipperary

and Donegal to name a few and have successfully gained planning permission for

customers in all the above counties. We have also provided 3D video and render images for satisfied customers in the past for various size projects.



We take pride in providing both large scale bespoke design buildings to

compact simplified designs tailored to suit customer’s needs. We also encourage

the use of sustainable energy solutions and renewable energy sources in our

designs. Local authorities in every county throughout Ireland have provided

design guidelines for dwelling designs so this is always the starting point for

any design proposal. A traditional design approach is often best advised over

the more contemporary and modern slick design in certain site locations due to

possible difficulties the design may pose to the local authority.
