Big-city engineering without the big-firm overhead. Structural Engineer's Reports, wall removals, additions, and grading plans for Ottawa homes and small commercial — from an employee-owned firm a little over an hour down the 416.
The same four in-house disciplines we run everywhere — sized for the Ottawa work that big firms don't want and homeowners struggle to price: wall removals, additions, secondary suites, reports, and small-site civil.
Several Ottawa firms that served homeowners and small builders have been absorbed into national groups in the last few years, and the engineers who used to pick up the phone for a beam design or a grading plan are harder to find. We're independent, employee-owned, and structured for exactly that work — quoted in writing, sealed by the engineer you actually spoke to.
Yes — the office is a little over an hour down the 416, and Ottawa has been part of our service area for decades. We batch site visits across the city, so scheduling is rarely the bottleneck; the drawings are done back at the office either way.
Fewer than there were — several firms that served homeowners and small builders have been absorbed into national groups in recent years. We're independent and employee-owned, our fees reflect Brockville overhead rather than Ottawa overhead, and the engineer who seals your drawings is the one who answers your call.
Yes — Manotick, Greely, Osgoode, Metcalfe, Richmond, and the rural south and east of the city are actually our closest Ottawa coverage, along with the urban neighbourhoods inside the Greenbelt.
Ottawa's building department, like most in Ontario, commonly asks for a sealed structural report when load-bearing elements change, when existing work is being legalized, or when a building shows distress — and lenders and insurers ask for them on purchases. We inspect, assess, and issue a sealed report you can submit directly. Read our guide →
Most residential Structural Engineer's Reports and beam designs are delivered within one to two weeks of the site visit, and we reply to every quote request within two business days.
