The practice

We assess structures affected by fire, water intrusion, foundation movement, and material degradation, then design the repairs that follow. Forensic engineering, building science, and structural engineering are all performed by our own engineers.

We also act as prime consultant on design projects for residential, commercial, and institutional buildings. Under a single retainer, we coordinate registered architectural, mechanical, electrical, and geotechnical sub-consultants, while also carrying out building code reviews.

Keeping investigation and structural design within the same firm is deliberate. An engineer who is responsible for detailing the repair asks better questions during the investigation, and a report that must ultimately become a drawing cannot afford to be vague. This continuity allows observations made on site to carry directly through to the repair design.

When a project requires a discipline we do not practise in-house, we engage the appropriate registered sub-consultant while retaining responsibility for coordination. The client has a single point of contact, and the accountability for bringing the disciplines together remains with us.


How we operate

Six commitments.

These are the standards we hold ourselves to on every file, and the ones we expect clients to hold us to.

01

Technical competence

Work performed and reviewed by professionals qualified in the discipline, to current professional practice standards.

02

Integrated collaboration

Our own forensic, building science and structural teams, plus registered sub-consultants we select and supervise for architectural, mechanical, electrical and geotechnical scope, so the client deals with one accountable party.

03

Client-focused delivery

Concise reports, practical designs and fast turnaround, scoped to the decision the client has to make.

04

Professional development

Continuing competence maintained in line with APEGA requirements, with time invested in it rather than claimed.

05

Safety

Safety integrated through every project phase, from site attendance on damaged structures to construction review.

06

Community

Ongoing engagement with and support for the communities we practise in.
