Really happy to see the Ben TeKamp Pavilion at Reynolds Park moving ahead.

Our team at IN Engineering + Planning was proud to provide the structural engineering and wave uprush analysis for the pavilion, and to represent the project through the conservation authority approval process.

For me, there’s also a special connection to this project. Having been a recipient of the Ben TeKamp Business Award, we're very happy to see his name carried forward through a new public space on Brockville’s waterfront.

We’re proud to have played a small part in bringing it to life.

Building Code compliance is more than passing the final inspection.

An interesting recent Ontario Building Code Commission decision out of Ottawa highlights an important distinction between code compliance, workmanship, and the building inspection process.

The dispute involved an integrated shower and bath assembly and raised several technical provisions of the 2012 Ontario Building Code, including:

• 7.2.2.1. Surface requirements for plumbing fixtures
• 7.2.2.3. Preventing leakage through shower walls and floors
• 7.4.3.1. Water-resistant surfaces adjacent to tubs and showers
• 9.29.2.2. Recognized waterproof finish materials
• 9.29.10.2. Requirements for ceramic tile installed over a mortar base
• 9.29.10.4. Moisture-resistant backing behind tile around tubs and showers

The owner argued that the waterproofing installation did not comply with the Building Code. Ottawa building officials took the position that the concern related to workmanship rather than an incorrect application of the Code, and the permit was ultimately closed.

What makes the decision particularly interesting is that the Building Code Commission did not actually decide whether the shower assembly complied with those technical requirements.

Instead, it concluded that it lacked jurisdiction because the construction was complete, the final inspection had occurred, and the permit had already been administratively closed before the owner applied to the Commission.

There is an important practical lesson here:

A final inspection and closed permit do not necessarily answer every technical question about how an assembly was constructed.

For designers, engineers, contractors and owners, technical concerns should be documented and resolved while construction is underway and while the permit remains active, particularly where waterproofing, concealed assemblies and other components will become difficult to evaluate once construction progresses.

The Building Code establishes the minimum technical requirements. Good design, documentation, construction quality and inspection all have to work together to achieve them.

Good design starts with understanding the site.

Our team recently completed a land-use compatibility review and spatial analysis for a challenging, irregularly shaped property in Kingston, Ontario.

Before putting pen to paper, we look closely at the site itself: its geometry, setbacks, servicing and utility constraints, neighbouring properties, ground conditions, and applicable planning requirements. From there, we can test concepts and refine the design around what is actually achievable.

For this project, that meant working through a series of design iterations and coordinating with municipal staff, utilities, and the project team to find a practical path forward.

Reviewing the site and testing concept designs are some of our first steps on any project. It helps us identify challenges early and make sure the property can support the client’s vision before the design gets too far down the road.

From structural design to permit approval, another garage project moving into construction. 🏗️

Our team recently completed the structural design and permit-ready drawings for a new 40 ft. × 54 ft. garage, including a monolithic slab foundation and supporting engineering calculations.

The project required coordination with an ongoing municipal site plan amendment, with setback, building size, and height requirements all influencing the design.

Through careful coordination, our team developed a practical structural solution that worked within the site's planning constraints while keeping the project moving forward.

The result: permit obtained and construction underway.

Garage and accessory building projects can appear straightforward, but foundation design, structural requirements, zoning, and permitting all need to come together. This project is another example of how a well-coordinated engineering approach can help move a project efficiently from concept to construction.

Sometimes the best engineering solution isn’t replacement. It’s finding a way to preserve what’s already there.

Our team was brought in to assess whether an approximately 100-year-old cottage could support a proposed addition and reconstruction project.

The challenge? The original cottage was built using unconventional construction methods, making load paths and existing structural capacity difficult to establish.

Our solution incorporated a helical pile-supported foundation, new perimeter beams, and targeted reinforcement of the existing structure. Cantilevered perimeter beams were used at the connection between the new addition and existing cottage, allowing the new construction to remain structurally independent and reducing the potential impact of differential settlement on the original grade-supported foundation.

The project successfully received permit approval, providing the owner with a practical alternative to demolition and allowing the existing cottage to be retained.

A great example of how thoughtful structural engineering and modern construction techniques can help preserve older buildings while adapting them for continued use.

Good grading and drainage design comes down to getting the details right.

Our team prepares grading and drainage plans for residential developments, urban infill projects, and commercial sites, working through how a proposed development actually fits into the existing conditions around it.

That means looking carefully at existing grades, neighbouring properties, roads and entrances, finished floor elevations, drainage outlets, servicing, retaining conditions, and how the site will ultimately be constructed.

A well-developed grading plan should do more than satisfy an approval requirement. It should provide a practical roadmap for construction and help avoid drainage conflicts, awkward grade transitions, unnecessary retaining walls, and costly changes in the field.

If you're planning a development in Ontario, our engineering and planning team can help take it from concept through approvals and detailed design.
