Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

About
GSQUARED is a creative, compact architectural practice that prides itself on delivering projects that are imaginatively conceived, well-designed and respond entirely to client objectives and aspirations. We are a young service driven firm specializing in architecture in all forms with the focus being entirely on the site and brief versus imported or borrowed styles. Our experience has taken us from high end luxury residential architecture to commercial developments and some bespoke furniture design.

Only a few public reviews are shown. Ask for recent references you can contact.
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.
No credentials are shown here and the business has not claimed this profile. Ask to see certificates and insurance directly.
In South Africa, electrical work must be signed off with a Certificate of Compliance (CoC) issued by a registered person. Insist on the CoC, and for plumbing look for PIRB or IOPSA registration, because without a valid CoC a future home-insurance claim can be refused.
For a new home or major structural build, the builder must be registered with the NHBRC (National Home Builders Registration Council) and the home enrolled before construction. Check this before you pay a deposit.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
