What we engineer
Brampton has one of the highest numbers of second units in Ontario, and many homeowners are adding legal basement apartments. Those often need new openings, egress windows, walkouts or beam changes, all of which need engineered drawings.
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.

Common questions
Do I need an engineer for a legal basement apartment in Brampton?
If the work involves new openings, a walkout or changes to load-bearing walls or beams, yes. We provide the structural drawings for the permit.
Can you enlarge a basement window for egress?
Yes. We design the new opening and lintel in the foundation wall so the window can be enlarged safely.
