Ottawa Architectural Engineers

Engineering is the undertaking of design of a building’s infrastructure rather than the design.

Engineers are trained in structure, mechanics & electrical systems to deliver strong and cost effective infrastructures to build efficient buildings in Ottawa.

Structural Engineering

Structural & civil engineers provide the skeletons that hold up the building and houses in Ottawa. Their plans need to withstand humidity, wind chill and even earthquakes. Structural engineering is required for projects like removing a load bearing wall or making an opening for a window or door.  Engineers are the ones who visit the site and check to make sure the structures holding your building up are built to code and specification. 

Structural engineers work with architects and technologists to design elements like columns, beams, trusses & more.   They supervise and approve architectural drawings relating to structure, electrical and mechanical systems. 

Structural engineers are often required to approve particular types of renovations involving removal of walls, pouring footings, pouring foundations, building additions, and of course when designing custom homes in Ottawa.

Construction Management

Engineers are problem solvers and the kind of professional you want on your team while building a custom home.  They solve problems in the environment, design and stretch the budget with ingenious architectural engineering! 

Construction management requires the engineer to be involved in the process of planning, coordinating, and overseeing that construction projects are moving along. Engineers oversee the scheduling of contracts, ordering materials, and managing finances. Construction managers work with architects and engineers to help ensure our projects are completed on time and within budget.  Due to complexity of the project, many of the custom homes we’ve worked on in Ottawa require an engineer to be responsible for hiring and supervising general contractors. You’ll want an engineer that has strong communication skills, a well organized team and project management experience.
