BUILDING SCIENCE

Maintaining the highest standards through practical solutions

Spratt Emanuel Engineering Ltd. specializes in Building Envelope Consulting Services and Building Envelope Restoration Design and Management Services.

OUR CLIENTS

From emerging teams to well established industry leaders, developers and builders depend on our expertise in the field of building science to find practical and economical approaches. Since our inception, we have worked diligently to maintain solid relationships with a powerhouse roster of clients throughout Western Canada by approaching projects with a balanced perspective while maintaining best practice standards.

It is our objective to provide the architect with the tools and advice to maintain sound building science principles with due regard for the unique architectural vision of every building. We work with the design team from the early design stage to identify and assist in detailing critical design details; and continue through construction to validate their proper implementation and conformance to project specifications. As the Building Envelope Professional, we share joint responsibility for Part 5 building code requirements with the Architect of Record; we therefore strive to work in unison to make each design vision a successful reality.

We assist property managers, multi-unit strata corporations, and owners of residential and commercial properties to assess the condition of the subject building. Whether it is for the purposes of proactive building envelope maintenance or as an investigative and repair measure, we can help identify key issues, develop a maintenance or repair plan, and supervise the contractor’s work to service and extend the life of the property.

SERVICES

We will see your project through from conception to completion, as a member of the design team in new construction or as the coordinating professional of a building envelope remediation project.

We bring our expertise into the field with quality assurance review services. In new construction and retrofit projects we will attend the site to verify the design is executed as intended.

We provide overall condition assessments, as well as focused investigations for leaks and other issues. We serve new homeowners (HPO 2-5-10 home warranties), residential strata corporations, commercial property owners, lenders, and property managers.

We can provide your Strata Corporation with a depreciation report which meets all the requirements of the BC Strata Property Act. Our reports present the repair and maintenance information with clear descriptions that allow Owners and Councils to effectively plan for the future.

Seeking to achieve the highest standards of excellence, Spratt Emanuel Engineering Ltd. is dedicated to the design and construction of durable buildings. We provide professional engineering expertise to architectural firms, developers, various levels of government, strata councils, hospital boards and universities.
