InnoDez provides structural engineering for new buildings, additions, renovations, tenant improvements, adaptive reuse, and change-of-use projects across Canada. We develop safe, efficient structural solutions that support the architectural design while responding to site conditions, loading requirements, material availability, construction methods, and project budget.
Our structural team works collaboratively with architects, MEP consultants, contractors, and owners from early planning through detailed design. The objective is a structure that is code-compliant, buildable, coordinated, and appropriately designed for the project location and intended use.
The structural system is the framework that allows the building concept to become a safe and durable reality. Decisions made during early design—grid, spans, lateral system, foundation approach, floor depth, openings, and material selection—have a direct effect on cost, coordination, and construction.
InnoDez evaluates these decisions as an integrated part of the project. Designs consider applicable gravity, snow, wind, seismic, and other required loads, together with serviceability, durability, and constructability criteria relevant to the building and jurisdiction.
Review of the architectural concept, available site information, structural options, major constraints, and preliminary framing or foundation strategies.
Development of structural grids, framing concepts, lateral systems, preliminary member depths, and coordination requirements to support the architectural design.
Engineering calculations and drawings for structural elements using materials such as steel, reinforced concrete, timber, cold-formed steel, and masonry, as appropriate to the project.
Responses to structural review comments, RFIs, submittals, and design revisions as defined in the project agreement.
Design of foundations based on building loads, available geotechnical information, site conditions, and the selected structural system.
Assessment and design for new openings, equipment loads, additions, alterations, strengthening, and structural modifications where sufficient existing information is available.
Structural design or review for rooftop units, mechanical equipment, screen walls, canopies, platforms, signs, and other project-specific components when included in scope.
Coordination of structural framing with architectural layouts, MEP routes, shafts, openings, ceiling zones, and construction requirements.
☑️ Structural solutions coordinated with architecture and MEP requirements
☑️ Experience with steel, concrete, timber, masonry, and light-frame construction
☑️ Design approach responsive to snow, wind, seismic, and local site conditions
☑️ Attention to material efficiency, member depth, buildability, and project cost
☑️ Clear calculations and drawings prepared for the applicable submission process
☑️ Responsive coordination and practical support throughout designsacrificing quality or safety.
We have extensive experience delivering structural design services across a wide range of sectors:
Apartments, townhouses, build-to-rent schemes, extensions, and loft conversions.
Office developments, retail spaces, hospitality venues, and mixed-use buildings.
Warehouses, manufacturing facilities, distribution centres, and logistics hubs.
Schools, universities, hospitals, and clinics designed with longevity and flexibility in mind.
Adaptive reuse, structural modifications, and strengthening of existing buildings.
Lightweight, prefabricated structural systems designed for rapid deployment and cost-efficiency.
From the first framing concept to permit documentation, InnoDez helps project teams translate architectural ideas into safe, efficient, and buildable structures.
