Quality Assurance

Our company is registered with Engineers and Geoscientists British Columbia (EGBC) for our Organization Quality Management Plan. Every project is reviewed by multiple professionals to ensure the quality and accuracy of our designs are maintained.

Standard of Care

Our company is local to Victoria, BC and our staff live and work in the area. Our designs are well thought through to ensure they correlate with the goals of local communities. You will often find us attending meetings with the community to better understand how our building integrates with the people.

Energy Conscious

We are continuing to improve the energy performance of mechanical systems that are implemented in buildings to correspond with the progression of the BC Step Code. We believe in continued professional education to ensure we are up to date with Technology and so we ensure the systems adhere to proper thermal comfort and indoor air quality.

Sustainability

Our designs are reviewed for compatibility with the environment to ensure they are optimized for the demands to infrastructure including zero carbon emissions.

Constructability

Nothing is worse than having a design that is not buildable. Our designers go through an internal process to ensure equipment and materials are available for the job site. A Principal in the company will be involved in each project to provide constructability experience.
