we know the properties and we know the property owners.” Furthermore, Derek says that when it comes to their technical expertise, Crosier Kilgour has a deep bench. “We’re the largest structural engineering consulting firm in the province. We know buildings front to back. From foundations to structure to cladding to the building envelope to roofing to restoration work and now sustainability consulting, commissioning, and energy modelling – we have more breadth of knowledge and experience than other local firms.” One of Crosier Kilgour’s guiding principles is that forming lasting relationships is as integral to their business as designing durable structures. Haney adds that the firm’s “longstanding tradition of relationship building” also sets them apart. And when it comes to building those relationships, he says it helps that all 11 of the firm’s principals are working engineers and actively involved in their projects: “I think clients really value that the most senior people in the company are still the ones who will go out to meet them at a property and discuss what the issues might be. They appreciate that they can talk directly to the decision makers in the company.” Clients also appreciate that Crosier Kilgour specializes in problem-solving and finding innovative solutions to design challenges. Haney believes that aptitude is especially valuable when working with clients on existing structures, which he says “can be pretty complicated.” THE CONSTRUCTION SOURCE CANADA
