Edmonton, AB

Engineering for Edmonton's built environment.

Design Works Engineering's Edmonton office delivers integrated structural, mechanical, and electrical engineering for clients building across the Capital Region. We're licensed with APEGA, fluent in the City of Edmonton's permitting process and Alberta's building and energy codes, and embedded in the local construction community — so your project is engineered by people who know the ground it sits on.

What We Do in Edmonton

From early concept through occupancy, our Edmonton team integrates every discipline your project needs — coordinated under one roof, signed and sealed by Alberta-licensed engineers.

01

Structural Engineering

From wood-frame infill to high-rise concrete, our structural team designs efficient, code-compliant frames for Edmonton's full range of building types. We work directly with architects and contractors from massing through shop drawings, sealed under APEGA.

02

Mechanical Engineering

HVAC, plumbing, and process system design tuned to Alberta's climate and the NECB. Our Edmonton mechanical engineers size heating, ventilation, and domestic water systems for real Edmonton winters and the energy-code requirements that come with them.

03

Electrical Engineering

Power distribution, life safety, and low-voltage systems for commercial, multi-family, and institutional projects across the Edmonton region. CEC- and Alberta-amendment-fluent.

04

Civil Engineering

Site grading, servicing, stormwater management, and onsite utility design for Edmonton developments. We coordinate with City of Edmonton servicing standards and EPCOR utility requirements so site approvals don't stall the project.

05

Energy Modelling

NECB-compliant whole-building energy modelling handled in-house. We use industry-standard tools to demonstrate code compliance, optimize envelope performance, and support LEED and Built Green submittals for Edmonton projects.

06

Building Assessment Reports

Reserve fund studies, due-diligence inspections, and condition assessments for Edmonton buildings. Backed by our purpose-built BAR platform for consistent, defensible reporting that lenders, insurers, and condominium boards accept.

07

Fire Protection

Sprinkler, standpipe, and special-hazard system design coordinated with our mechanical drawings. We engage Edmonton Fire Rescue early to keep code interpretations clean and inspections on schedule.

08

Lighting Design

Architectural and exterior lighting that meets ASHRAE 90.1 and NECB power-density limits while supporting the architect's intent. Photometrics, control sequences, and emergency lighting coordinated directly with the electrical set.

09

Sustainable Design

LEED, Built Green, BOMA BEST, and Zero Carbon strategy integrated from concept. Our sustainability advisors help Edmonton owners hit certification targets without expensive late-stage redesigns.

10

Modular Design

Engineering for off-site and modular construction. We coordinate structural connections, MEP rough-ins, and transport loading so modules fabricated in Alberta arrive ready to set on the Edmonton site without surprises.

11

Land Development

From rezoning and subdivision support through detailed servicing design — our land development team navigates City of Edmonton planning, environmental, and engineering review so your site moves through the approvals queue.

12

Inspections

Construction-phase site inspections, field reviews, and commissioning observations. Our Edmonton-based engineers and technologists are on site through key milestones — not just at substantial performance.

13

Surveying & Geomatics

Legal, topographic, and construction surveying through our affiliated geomatics group. Edmonton projects get accurate site data tied to the City of Edmonton geodetic network — no surprises at servicing connection.

14

Rendering & Drafting

In-house 3D visualization and BIM drafting support. From early massing renderings used in DP applications to fully coordinated Revit models, we keep visualization and documentation under one roof.
