How an engagement runs
We start with your drawings or a site visit, confirm scope and fee in a written proposal, and deliver sealed drawings or a report suited to your building department's requirements. Where the OBC requires general review during construction, we carry that through to occupancy.

FAQ
Common questions
Do I need a Structural Engineer's Report?
Building departments in Ontario commonly request a sealed structural report when you alter load-bearing elements, legalize existing construction, or when a building shows signs of distress such as cracking or settlement. Lenders and insurers may also require one before closing. We inspect, assess against the Ontario Building Code, and issue a sealed report you can submit directly.
Can you design the removal of a load-bearing wall?
Yes. This is one of our most common residential services. We confirm the load path on site, design the new beam and posts, and provide a sealed drawing your contractor can use for the building permit.
Do you review work during construction?
Yes. Where the Ontario Building Code requires general review by the designer, we perform site visits at key stages and issue field review reports to the building department.
What areas do you serve?
We are based in Brockville and regularly work in Ottawa, Kingston, Cornwall, Smiths Falls, Perth, and throughout Leeds & Grenville and Eastern Ontario.
