What we engineer
Many lower-city Hamilton homes are over a century old, with rubble or brick foundations and original framing. Structural repairs, underpinning and beam replacements are common, along with additions on the Mountain and in Ancaster.
Load-bearing wall removal
We confirm the load path, size the new beam in wood, LVL or steel, and design the posts and footings below it. Sealed permit drawings, support through the permit, and an optional site review during construction.
Additions & second storeys
Framing, foundations and connections for new space.
Underpinning & walkouts
Lowered basements, underpinning and new walkout openings.
Second & garden suites
Structural design for new suites, including fire separations and openings.
Decks & porches
Decks, porches and canopies designed to code.
Inspections & reports
Assessments for cracks, sagging floors, damage or a home purchase.
