The decisions that shape your mid-rise budget
Protect saleable floor area
We lock in shafts, bulkheads and mechanical rooms early and design compact systems, so the architect is not forced to give up suites late in design.
Financing-driven energy targets
CMHC MLI Select points can change your amortization and premiums. We model the building in-house and design to the energy tier your financing needs.
Wood-frame realities
In six-storey wood-frame buildings, shrinkage, fire separations and sprinkler coverage all shape the mechanical and electrical design. We detail for them from day one.
Changes without chaos
Architectural revisions are inevitable. We track how each one ripples into MEP and flag cost and schedule impacts before they surprise you.
