We reshape how buildings get built.
Not just by designing what’s possible—but by redefining what’s permitted, prefabricated, and proven to perform.
As structural engineers, we’re leading the way in residential, commercial, and institutional construction—combining mass timber, hybrid systems, prefabrication, and net-zero practices to solve complex problems and build smarter.
MSE at a Glance
Smarter by Design
We combine mass timber, hybrid, prefab, and net-zero systems to deliver structural solutions that meet your goals, budget and code.
Proven Where It Matters
We’re the trusted structural expert for cities, universities, and national institutions—called on for peer reviews, code insight, and an expert opinion.
Partners from Day One
We don’t hand off your project. A Principal stays involved throughout, ensuring clarity and continuity. We’re hands-on, responsive, and fully invested.
Hutton Headquarters Office Building
Mass Timber Construction
Featured in Canadian Consulting Engineer magazine, Hutton Construction’s new 24,000 sq.ft. office building uses exposed mass timber construction with custom hardware that we designed to meet the client’s aesthetic expectations while maintaining strength and constructability.
1255 House
Dream Home Renovation
1255 House is an extensive 10,000 sf renovation, overlooking the north end of Lake Ontario. A unique, custom oak staircase links the levels of house, tying together the warm, biophilic nature of the home.
Who We Serve

TimberFever® Design-Build Competition
Shaping The Next Generation of Structural Engineered
Our work to advance structural engineering goes beyond the construction site—it reaches engineering schools across North America. Each year, hundreds of students take part in our TimberFever competition. Mentored by practicing professionals, they design and construct full-scale wood structures in just four days.
We’d love for you to get involved next year. Ask us how!
