Services
Structural Repairs
We design structural repairs for damaged buildings, including foundation cracks, sagging beams, and wood rot. Our engineers collaborate with contractors to ensure solutions restore integrity while maintaining cost-effectiveness. Services cover residential and commercial properties with specialized expertise in forensic evaluations.
Building Additions
Our team provides structural analysis for home expansions, including attic conversions and deck enclosures. We ensure new additions integrate safely with existing structures while meeting local building codes. Services include foundation reinforcement and load-bearing calculations for vertical and horizontal expansions.
Permit Applications
We assist with building permit documentation, including structural drawings and load calculations. Our team liaises with municipal departments to streamline approvals for renovations, new constructions, and unconventional structures. Services ensure compliance with Ontario and Alberta building codes.
Non-Building Structures
We engineer unconventional structures like footbridges, storage racks, and sign supports. Our designs accommodate unique load requirements for industrial equipment, fall arrest systems, and vibration-sensitive installations. Services include material selection and structural integrity assessments for non-traditional applications.
Site Examinations
Our engineers conduct on-site evaluations of structural concerns, providing detailed reports with repair recommendations. Services include load capacity analysis for existing structures and forensic investigations into damage causes like water intrusion or construction errors.
