Consulting and Design

Business operations are complex. Multiple elements must work together to ensure efficiency, while satisfying customer expectations.

GTI Designs has decades of experience balancing and managing these intricacies. Applying the most effective planning techniques to achieve the best possible results. Fully utilizing your space to create the desired aesthetic and atmosphere.

This doesn’t stop at designing and building. On the food service side, we can also assist with menu development and menu execution needs. With both food service and retail, we can assist with sourcing equipment and vendors, as well as developing comprehensive staff training programs.

Giving you all of the fundamental tools needed to build a successful business!

Our full AutoCAD design service allows us to make the most of your available space (whether new or existing).
Offering three dimensional, true to life views that allow us to visualize the space and create a layout that is both functional and appealing.

Our initial three dimensional design can be taken to the next level, through our photo-realistic color rendering service. Simulating the finished product, materials and all.

The final touch is an executive drawing set complete with permit ready mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) drawings.

We take pride in all of our projects. We employ our own fully trained and experienced installation teams to ensure that all equipment is installed properly and performs optimally.

By installing all of the equipment in-house, GTI Designs is able to manage and minimize and risk of damage or incorrect installation. Rather than entrusting your design vision to third party companies, who may not execute the same attention to detail.

Service and Logistics

The best equipment money can buy means nothing without the right support and service behind it.

Due to our continuing growth, we have created a National Service Network in order to provide you with prompt attention and service in the event of a problem. With our headquarters in New York and our regional distribution hubs, GTI Designs is able to dispatch our own trucks, complete with lift-gates, to ensure on-time delivery and to provide the proper care and handling of your equipment. We also offer full warranties and a 24 hour emergency service hotline to accommodate any service issues outside of normal business hours.

GTI hopes to build more than projects; we want to build relationships. Our success to that end is proven by our many returning customers.
