About Us

Continuity

We are a small firm comprised of a core team who have worked together for a long time. We are passionate about our work and building relationships with our clients by providing personal and consistent service, while sharing our knowledge and expertise.

We build relationships with the building owners, boards and property managers we work with, and take the time to educate our clients. The result is they understand what is occurring with their buildings and the long-term effects, so they can be better prepared.

It's our job to pay attention and be thorough so you have peace of mind.

Our clients rely on our knowledge and the education we provide - they tell us they don't receive the same level of expertise, communication and service elsewhere.

Manticore Engineering assesses your building's components to ensure they will continue to safely perform their intended functions.

Advise

Once we have assessed your building and have an understanding of your building’s behaviour, we can advise on how to optimize its performance. Manticore's team can provide you with reports on the:

  • Building envelope **
  • Condition of waterproofing system(s)
  • Condition of the post tension system
  • Balcony structures.

We can also advise on scheduling and budgeting of anticipated capital expenditures for maintenance, repair and scheduled or timely replacement of building components.

Draw upon the many decades of cumulative experience at Manticore for an accurate assessment and expert advice on maximizing the life of your built construction.

**  The building envelope is the physical barrier between the exterior and interior environments enclosing a structure. Typically, the building envelope is comprised of a series of components and systems that protect the interior space from the effects of the environment like precipitation, wind, temperature, humidity, and ultraviolet radiation.

Assess

The ramifications of insufficient structural integrity can result in danger to the public if your building is unable to support the loads it was designed for throughout its predicted lifetime.

Manticore Engineering provides specialized consulting services to assess the adequacy, structural integrity and soundness of your built construction. We use software and field diagnostic tools including infrared thermography to assist us in understanding your building’s condition.
