Structural Engineering Services for Muskoka Builds.

Building a new residence or cottage involves a lot of moving parts. PSG handles the structural piece — foundation design, floor and roof framing, beam and column sizing, and stamped drawings that your contractor and permit office need.

We coordinate directly with your architect or designer to make sure the structural and architectural intentions align before the build begins.

Existing homes and cottages come with their own set of structural considerations — older construction methods, potential non-code-compliant elements, and the effects of seasonal wear and tear.

Whether you're adding a screened porch, opening up a main floor, putting on a second storey, or taking on a full renovation, PSG assesses what you're working with and designs what needs to be implemented to bring your vision to life.

Waterfront structures require more than solid carpentry. They need engineering that can withstand the elements.

PSG designs dock and boathouse structures built for the specific demands of Muskoka's waterfront environment and produces stamped drawings that satisfy municipal permit requirements and give your builder a clear set of plans to work from.

The right foundation depends on soil bearing capacity, frost depth, drainage, topography, and structural loading.

Whether it's a conventional concrete walls and footings, ICF foundations, masonry, a pile system or a slab-on-grade for a garage or addition — you'll get the drawings and specifications your builder needs to get it done right.

PSG provides the drawings and engineer's stamp your permit office requires — whether it's a clean single-car build or a large multi-bay structure with a loft above.

A building inspector may request an Engineer’s review for your construction project. PSG is available for footing reviews, foundation wall reinforcement reviews and framing reviews. We can also inspect elements deemed to be deficient and provide practical solutions to satisfy the Building Department.

Sometimes you need to know what you're working with before you make a decision. Whether you're buying a property, planning a renovation or dealing with a visible deficiency, a structural review gives you an accurate picture of what the structure is doing and what needs to be addressed.

PSG conducts thorough visual assessments, identifies deficiencies and areas of concern, and provides a written report that explains findings in plain language.

You'll leave the process knowing exactly what's going on and what your options are.

PSG handles the structural side of small commercial projects — from new builds and structural modifications to improvements and interior renovations.

Our experience extends beyond residential design to commercial structures and post-disaster structural design, bringing practical knowledge to commercial projects at any scale.

We produce code-compliant, contractor-ready drawings and work closely with architects and project managers to keep things moving.
