Our impact includes buzzworthy projects in structural engineering, restoration, and glass design. We are equally enthusiastic about building science, building energy modelling, and state-of-the-art parking garage design.

You may have heard of our work from headline-grabbing projects like the BMO Centre Expansion, CIBC SQUARE, The Stack, M City Condos, St. Andrew’s Wesley United Church Restoration and The Well, to name a few. These projects are made possible because our engineers have a reputation for thinking ahead.

With offices across Canada, and a growing presence in the U.S., our clients get the ‘RJC advantage’ with personal attention from senior-level engineers who know the challenges of their local neighbourhoods first-hand. We believe that an elevated space for the community trickles down to an elevated lifestyle. For us, every project is a new chance to make connections, while serving the communities we belong to by injecting fresh designs into the spaces they will use every day.
