Our building science division resolves difficult maintenance problems affecting roofs, exterior masonry, windows, parking garages, retaining walls, asphalt and concrete parking areas, equipment supports, etc. We use thermographic scanning to help determine heat loss problems, water leaks and electrical overloads and incorrect phasing. For roof membrane review and reporting, our consultants determine the underlying causes and solutions.

If requested, we can provide detailed capital cost analyses from five to thirty years, including cash flow charts.
On international projects we use local consultants in combination with our own team of experts. Our joint venture viability studies include preparation of business plans, training plan, environmental assessment and preparation of environmental impact studies, social/gender impact, joint venture proposals, market analyses, joint venture agreements, assessment of ‘local’ partners, site evaluations, financial analyses.
Modern tools such as computer automated design and sending technical correspondence and information, including drawings, by internet are used extensively within the company.
Our design division uses their magic to transform bland offices into new ergonomically designed work spaces. We have researched architecture and interior design to produce for example – 1920’s art nouveau/art deco in a private school pool/exercise area. We can replicate conceptual renderings in 3-dimensions on the computer to produce virtual space tours of the proposed project.
With respect to legal experience we have been designated as expert witnesses on numerous cases in Ontario Provincial Court, the New Home Warranty Program and the Ontario Municipal Board. We have appeared for our clients in front of various Municipal Committees of Adjustment with respect to obtaining zoning variances.
