Expertise | 5 Reasons to Choose us

1. Smarter Designs Start with Broader Perspective

With over 15 years of experience across project types, materials, and delivery models, we bring clarity early. We anticipate hurdles, align structure with design intent, and help projects move forward faster, and with fewer surprises and smarter detailing.

2. Defining What’s Next

We’ve helped define some of Canada’s most important structural firsts, from Ontario’s earliest CLT installations to modular timber housing prototypes.

Our long-term commitment to R&D, academia, and code evolution doesn’t just advance the industry, it sets new standards and ensures our clients benefit from smarter, more proven solutions.

3. Hard-to-Find Expertise

We bring rare depth across modern construction systems—and what sets us apart is our ability to combine them into efficient, buildable solutions.

David Moses holds a PhD in timber engineering and is a recognized educator and speaker. Antonio Franco specializes in steel, glulam, and timber–steel hybrids, with hands-on experience in fabrication, detailing, and university instruction. Mary Alexander focuses on midrise and tall wood, co-authoring the Ontario Tall Wood Building Reference and contributing to Toronto’s first six-storey mass timber and midrise buildings.

And our expertise doesn’t stop there. If you’ve got a question, Just ask.

4. Leadership in Multi-Unit Wood Design

We designed Ontario’s first six-storey wood-frame prototypes and have since completed over 80 projects using prefabricated wood systems.

Our portfolio includes some of Canada’s most complex residential and institutional timber structures, and has earned national recognition for engineering excellence.

5. Complexity, Made Constructible

We’re known for solving unconventional geometry and complex engineering challenges. But we don’t make complexity more complicated—we simplify and rationalize, while preserving design intent.

When needed, we draw on our global network of material and technical experts to find the right solution for unusual conditions.
