Génie des structures | Conception structurale

Regardless of project scale or complexity, our structural engineering team delivers structural design services with rigor, creativity, and technical expertise. We design all types of structures across a wide range of sectors, including light and heavy industrial, commercial, institutional, residential, and multi-storey developments.

Whether for new buildings, complex structural systems, specialized structures, or rehabilitation projects, we approach each mandate with the same commitment to performance and durability. We work with all structural materials — timber, reinforced concrete, steel, and fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) — while integrating seismic requirements, operational constraints, and construction realities specific to each project.

Wood Structures

Our engineers are recognized for their expertise in timber design. Beyond in-depth technical knowledge, they share a genuine passion for this material and its unique characteristics.

Whether for commercial, multi-storey, institutional, or residential projects, engineered wood offers a wide range of configurations for which we deliver rigorous designs tailored to its complexity. As a living, fibrous material, wood cannot be analyzed or designed in the same manner as steel or concrete. We favor a proven approach inspired by traditional craftsmanship (mortise-and-tenon joints, interlocking connections, etc.).

As a renewable resource, wood represents a strategic choice for sustainable construction. Our expertise, combined with creativity and commitment, makes us a trusted partner for environmentally responsible projects.

Building Rehabilitation

Because every building deserves a second life — and because sustainability begins with the preservation and reuse of our built environment — we bring ingenuity and creativity to rehabilitation projects in order to meet the requirements of new uses. Our team combines experience and technical expertise to develop solutions that bring each project’s vision to life.

Our services include:

Structural strengthening
Fiber-reinforced polymer systems (FRP – glass or carbon)
Structural modifications
Demolition plans
Seismic upgrades
Code compliance upgrades
Change-of-use adaptations

Construction phase services

When design work meets the realities of the construction site, ongoing involvement during construction becomes essential to delivering a quality project. Committed from concept to completion, our team provides proactive support to construction partners, with a strong focus on practical, solution-oriented collaboration.

Our presence during construction also allows us to learn from the expertise of field professionals, fostering continuous improvement and shared knowledge throughout the project lifecycle.

Structural studies

Our expertise also extends to the preparation of structural studies tailored to a wide range of project needs. Our engineers provide informed guidance and precise recommendations to help you make sound decisions and confidently advance your project.

Our services include:

Feasibility studies
Preliminary design studies
Pre-concept development
Functional and technical program support
Due diligence assessments

Building Information Modeling (BIM)

We integrated the BIM methodology into our practice as early as 2014, recognizing its transformative impact on project design and coordination. Our professionals contributed to the development and teaching of the BIM course at the Université de Sherbrooke, actively supporting the advancement of industry best practices.

Today, BIM is used in the majority of our projects, and we also offer BIM management services, acting as BIM Manager when required. In this role, we coordinate models, establish project standards, manage clash detection processes, and oversee digital collaboration between disciplines. When properly implemented, BIM becomes a powerful optimization tool, enhancing coordination, improving deliverable quality, and supporting overall project performance.

Concrete and steel structures

Our engineers design reinforced concrete and steel structures for a wide range of projects, including commercial and institutional buildings, multi-storey developments, industrial and manufacturing facilities. Whether for large-span structures, complex systems, or projects with specific performance requirements, we deliver rigorous designs tailored to the project’s context and objectives. Our professionals also teach concrete and steel structural design at the Université de Sherbrooke, actively contributing to the education of future structural engineers. This academic involvement strengthens our practice and ensures a high level of technical expertise. Each project is approached with the same commitment: delivering efficient, durable structural systems that are seamlessly integrated with architectural and multidisciplinary requirements.
