ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES
CONSTRUCTION

We provide practical and efficient structural engineering services tailored to residential and small-scale commercial projects.

Our focus is on delivering clear, coordinated, and construction-ready structural drawings that integrate with the architectural design and existing building conditions.

Examples of structural services include:

  • Structural drawings for permit applications

  • Design of beams, columns, and load-bearing walls

  • Roof restructurings, attic conversions, and raised ceilings

  • Foundation modifications and underpinning coordination

  • Structural assessments of existing buildings

  • Structural details for renovations, additions, and conversions

  • Coordination with architectural and municipal requirements

Our Services

  • On-site evaluations to identify structural issues such as cracks, settlement, or load-bearing deficiencies. Ideal for homeowners planning renovations or concerned about structural integrity.

  • Custom sizing and specification of structural elements for new builds, extensions, or major interior renovations—including open-concept layouts.

  • Engineering analysis and structural design for safely removing or modifying load-bearing walls to create open spaces.

  • Design of new foundations or reinforcement solutions for additions, underpinning, or repairs—tailored to site and soil conditions.

  • Complete, city-ready structural drawings and documents to accompany renovation or new construction permits.

  • Site inspections during construction to verify that work aligns with design intent and code requirements.

  • In accordance with Bill 16, we prepare detailed Contingency Fund Reports (also known as Reserve Fund Studies) for co-ownership (condominium) buildings. This includes:

    • A complete inventory of common elements (roofs, balconies, windows, garages, etc.)

    • Condition assessment of each component

    • A 25-year forecast of major repair and replacement costs

    • Recommended annual contributions to the contingency fund

    • Clear, actionable funding strategies for syndicates

    These reports are essential for proactive maintenance planning and meeting your legal obligations under Article 1071 of the Civil Code of Québec.

  • We assist syndicates of co-owners in interpreting their legal obligations, prioritizing repairs, and budgeting responsibly to ensure sustainable building management
