These terms apply to this website and preliminary enquiries. Any professional service is governed by the written proposal or engagement accepted for that project.

General information

Website content is not engineering advice for a specific building. Viewing the site, sending an enquiry or receiving a preliminary response does not create a professional relationship.

Written scope

Work begins only after scope, fee, assumptions, limitations and deliverables are confirmed in writing. Reports, letters and drawings may limit who may rely on them and for what purpose.

Information and access

Clients must provide accurate information, identify known hazards and arrange safe, lawful access. Hidden conditions, inaccessible areas or inaccurate records may require a change in scope, fee or schedule.

Fees and changes

Fees and payment timing are stated in the written engagement. Work outside the agreed scope requires written confirmation of the additional services, fee and schedule effect before it proceeds.

Permits and approvals

Municipalities and other authorities control their decisions and review times. No permit, variance, approval or construction outcome is guaranteed.

Inspections

Unless the written scope states otherwise, inspections are visual and non-destructive. Findings are limited to conditions visible, accessible and safe to review at the time.

Professional documents

Drawings, calculations, reports and other professional documents are subject to the licence and payment terms in the engagement. They may not be reused for another property or materially changed without written authorization.

Governing law

These website terms are governed by the laws of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable in Ontario. Project-specific dispute and liability provisions are contained in the accepted engagement.
