Engineering excellence in Canada's capital.

If you asked us what our Ottawa office is known for, we would probably point out our decades of experience contributing to landmarks around the city, collaborative communication style on projects, and deep roots in the community delivery methods. But then, we would jump right to the people we have working in the office (including donut Tuesdays).

Established in 1976, Ottawa was Smith + Andersen’s second-ever office location. Over and above the decades of experience providing mechanical engineering and electrical engineering services in Canada's capital city, as well as throughout Ontario and Quebec, the office is simultaneously also young and thriving. This is a group that truly works as a team, evidenced as much by their pumpkin carving capabilities as by their project experience. They succeed together, taking that same approach when contributing to IPD projects, or net zero design solutions, or community-centric healthcare facilities. The principals of this office are driven, fun, award-winning technical leaders who have a vision for their growing team and their city.

This picture of our Ottawa team in 1990 was taken to celebrate Smith + Andersen’s 25th Anniversary. The team has now grown to more than 40 people.

“IPD projects have been a refreshing delivery model to be a part of. They emphasize the importance of effective design implementation, collaborative solutions, and strong relationship building.” 

Mike Mitani, Associate Principal
COLLABORATIVE DELIVERY METHODS

Smith + Andersen is proud to have been a part of Royal Canadian Dragoons — the first defense construction project in Canada to use the new Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) model, where collaboration is built right into the contract structure.

OUR COLLABORATION IS NOT LIMITED TO PROJECTS

When our local team isn't delivering engineering excellence, they’re skating on the Rideau Canal, playing street hockey in the parking lot, or practicing their curling skills for the next bonspiel (a sporty bunch, eh?).

CANADA’S LARGEST HERITAGE BUILDING MOVE

The original Horticulture Building was moved 140-metres across the Lansdowne Park redevelopment site to its new location. Smith + Andersen has worked on a number of projects at Lansdowne Park, but this one in particular involved a complete retrofit to a multi-functional occupancy, while supporting the original heritage building.
