Celebrating Excellence!

Design Works was recognized at the Canadian Business Excellence Awards this week.

✨ This past Tuesday, Design Works Engineering was proud to be on hand for the 2025 Canadian Business Excellence Awards, hosted by Excellence Canada at the iconic Eglinton Grand in Toronto.Representing our team were Haydar Al Dahhan, P.Eng., P.E., IntPE, APEC, MIET, President & CEO, Ghassan Ahmad, P.Eng., Mechanical Engineering Lead, Maddy Lakusta, Director of Administration, and Hossein Mohammadi, MASc, PEng., Structural Engineering Lead.

The Canadian Business Excellence Awards for Private Businesses, presented by Excellence Canada, is a prestigious national program that recognizes organizations across industries that exemplify a sustained commitment to performance, innovation, and continuous improvement.

It’s an honor to be recognized alongside major Canadian leaders such as Bombardier, Geotab, and Northland Properties— organizations whose scale and impact inspire us to continue raising the bar.

Being included among this year’s honorees is a reflection of the values we live every day: multidisciplinary collaboration, client-focused service, and a relentless drive to push our industry forward.

We’re proud to celebrate alongside so many inspiring businesses and look forward to continuing our journey of excellence.
