Natural Stone
We specialize in the design of stone anchorage, support and structural back-up systems for exterior and interior stone: Panels and Facades, Dimensional Stone, Handset Stone, Stone Veneer and Cast Stone. Important to note: We also provide services for Architectural Precast Concrete, Honeycomb Panel, GFRC Panel and ACM Panel.
As Canada’s leading structural engineering stone consultant, we have participated on natural stone projects from coast to coast across Canada. We have also enjoyed working on USA projects, as well.
Our stone projects are too numerous to list individually but one thing is for certain, our success is largely due to the many stone contractors, restoration professionals, and various consultants which routinely support us. The relationships we have with our many partners is a source of pride. We know we would not be where we are without them.
We lead the Canadian stone engineering consulting market for several main reasons:
- Our employee retention is solid. And, our experience is significant in our areas of specialty – stone shop drawings, tickets, calculations, anchor designs and engineering.
- Consequently, the work we perform is absolutely second to none in the industry.
- Our fees are fair and reasonable. We take great pride in delivering exceptional value.
- We are meticulous in our communication. We are prompt, professional and direct.
Our experience involves numerous stone projects and includes universities and colleges, civic centres, public parks and landmarks, hotels, corporate offices, libraries, retail establishments, transportation hubs, and cathedrals. Some of our USA work includes projects in Massachusetts, Vermont, New York, Washington D.C., Kansas, and Utah.
