We prepare comprehensive working drawings for permits and construction, along with detailed specifications. We provide municipal and structural design and coordinate with electrical and mechanical consultants to ensure accuracy, efficiency and smooth project execution. 

Our services also cover OBC review, accessibility design in compliance with OBC and AODA, building envelope analysis, permit applications, and contractor submittal reviews. During construction, we provide site visits and inspections, cost estimates, reserve fund studies and as-built drawings.

Whether its a new building or an addition, we deliver thoughtful, code-compliant, and fully coordinated architectural solutions tailored to your projects needs.

Our structural team develop structural designs and calculations in compliance with local and national technical standards, ensuring safe, economical, and efficient structures. Site visits and detailed structural assessments and reports are produced to verify the building’s condition and the possibility of carrying out any required or proposed renovations.

Our expertise spans the design of foundations and superstructures using concrete, steel, wood, or engineered products to meet diverse construction needs and/or environmental conditions. We undertake projects for a wide range of industrial, commercial, and residential developments, including precast or cast-in-place retaining walls, metal mezzanines, and industrial sheds. Furthermore, we create precise technical drawings for walkways, stairs and railings, metal structures, and offer advanced seismic design solutions to enhance safety, durability, and long-term performance.

Our Municipal Engineering Services offer end-to-end solutions for the planning, design, inspection, and implementation of infrastructure and developments projects. We provide expertise in zoning and land-use reviews, official plan and zoning amendment applications, and site plan control applications, ensuring full compliance with local regulations. Our team delivers comprehensive stormwater management design and analysis, grading and servicing plans, floodplain and hydrological studies, and sedimentations and erosion control strategies.

In addition, we provide construction review and inspection services, including site servicing inspections, sewer and watermain inspections, stormwater facility inspections, retaining wall inspections, and general site compliance reviews to ensure works are constructed in accordance with approved drawings, municipal standards, and regulatory requirements.

We also provide sewer inspections and analysis, fire flow assessments, turning radius studies, retaining wall design, and serviceability reports. To further support development projects, we offer floor plans and elevation concepts for planning applications, subdivision design and draft plan submissions, and accessibility design in accordance with OBC and AODA standards, delivering a complete suite of municipal engineering services that bring your projects from concept to completion efficiently and effectively.

Thorough assessments ensuring accurate, compliant engineering projects.

Shoreline Protection Services offer specialized solutions to safeguard waterfront properties and infrastructure. We provide expert marina and breakwater design, wave uprush anlysis, and design and inspection of docks, dolphins, and breakwaters to ensure structural integrity and long-term perforamnce.
