Structural Engineering Services for Construction Projects in Canada
With Grubb Engineering’s complete facet of structural engineering services, you can implement value engineering into your project from the start. We use a highly integrated and collaborative approach to add value throughout the process, from conceptual design right through to full BIM component shop drawings. This integrated approach reduces time, knowledge gaps, and errors to ensure that you can meet your construction project’s design intent, budget and timelines. With our services, we can also ensure the safety of your structure.
Our expertise covers a wide range of services, including Preliminary Design, Construction Documents, Contract Administration (CA), REVIT BIM Models and specialized Structural Services.
However, our services go beyond developing and reviewing structural design; we provide guidance and real-time solutions throughout the whole project. Our knowledgeable team can provide live communication with your construction team and fabricators on the ground. This means there is an immediate response to any issues that may arise during the construction phase, saving you time and money.

Frequently Asked Questions
A structural engineer is responsible for designing and analyzing structures, such as buildings, bridges and parkades. They ensure that structures are safe, reliable, and able to withstand environmental forces such as wind, earthquakes, and snow loads. A Structural Engineer's job is to ensure the design can be executed in the construction phase. Structural engineers use their expertise in mathematics, physics, and materials science to design functional and aesthetically pleasing structures.
Here at Grubb Engineering, our services range from concept & preliminary design and design development to detailed design & production of construction documentation and site reviews & reports. Additionally, we use our overall models to assist with project detailing where feasible. Each of our services has something in common: our collaborative approach, value engineering, live communication, and trust.
The value we build throughout our projects helps us stand out in the construction industry. We use a highly integrated and collaborative approach that transforms a conceptual design into a complete BIM drawing. This approach reduces time, knowledge gaps, and errors while providing single-source responsibility. On top of our processes, our complete 3D modelling of entire buildings offers the highest detail and will be a vital asset for your project.
Grubb Engineering has provided support for construction projects across every industry. Since 2011, We have employed our services successfully on various projects ranging from custom residential, multi-family residential, light-commercial, industrial, recreational, and institutional projects.
You'll need our services for various tasks:
- For new construction projects where you need concept design outlines, general development and design, and schematic design, you can reach out to Grubb Engineering.
- You may require our services for construction documents to facilitate permits and the construction phase.
- For construction administration, we help you navigate the complexities of construction contracts, review construction progress, and ensure that all parties have a finalized schedule to adhere to.
- Grubb Engineering can assist when you need specialized services like design assist, peer reviews, and third-party site reviews.
Our structural engineers and technologists can create shop drawings where REVIT BIM models are required.
Preliminary design is the initial phase of the design process, where engineers develop a conceptual and general layout of a structure. This phase occurs after the project's requirements and constraints are defined but before the detailed design work begins. During this stage, we investigate the structure's layout, stability, strength, and rigidity.
We can assist with construction projects across Canada. While we are based in Alberta, we service the entire country and are licensed in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Yukon, Nunavut and the Northwest Territories.
