What Our Clients Say

“We had the pleasure of having Wilson from Gates by Design fabricate and install our automated gate. We were very impressed with the professionalism, prompt and clear communication. We were informed at every step along the way and were offered a variety of options to suit our needs. Overall we found it a positive experience and were happy to support a kiwi owned company that has in-house fabrication. Wilson's attention to detail was second to none and we are extremely pleased with the final product. Wilson was always well presented, courteous and polite. We would highly recommend Wilson from Gates by Design.”

Sir John KirwinNew Zealand Rugby Union Coach

“HNLA approached Wilson for a complex custom designed balustrade, as my client had fallen in love with a fence they had seen prior. Wilson promptly responded without hesitation, visited the inspirational fence and provided us with information and options for fixing. Together, we designed and detailed the balustrade, then had it engineered and consented for compliance. Wilson was great with the clients, offered suggestions and advice, but also listened. During the process, he communicated timeframes, sent photos during fabrication and installation...”
