2016 was a busy year for our firm and it is looking like 2017 is shaping up much the same. Feel free to contact us or visit our office in Function Junction to start planning over these winter months for your new construction project in the Spring. At Twin Peaks Engineering Ltd. we aim to provide value for money consulting structural engineering services within the Whistler, Squamish and Pemberton.

Winter has arrived in the Sea to Sky Corridor. Our clients and contractors that we work with are busily trying to get everything buttoned up before the Christmas break. Whilst construction can continue over the winter months, progress is definitely slowed by these cold and snowy conditions.

We have recently experienced a polar vortex period with temperatures down to -15 degrees celsius. This has proven difficult for contractors to pour concrete in these cold conditions. Heat and thermal blankets have been required to ensure that the concrete has cured correctly and achieved the design strength required. Insulated concrete forms have come into their own in these conditions allowing for cold weather concreting to proceed utilising the in-built insulated form work. See link below for more details on this great product.

As we move into the holiday period, the new year is the perfect time to get your design finalised for your renovation or new build planned for 2017. Contact us today or come by our office in Function Junction to see how we can help out with your Consulting Structural Engineering needs in Whistler, Squamish and Pemberton.

The 2016 summer construction period is proving to be a busy one. Throughout the Sea to Sky Corridor, Twin Peaks Engineering is continuing to provide Consulting Structural Engineering services to clients offering value for money whilst meeting tight timelines for design, documentation and construction.

Lead times for the processing of building permits within the local municipalities are continuing to grow, so we encourage our clients to plan early in order to have building permits in place for construction this year before the snow falls.

There are also some exciting new developments in the northern part of the corridor with Pemberton continuing to expand and grow. Two new developments have come online being ‘The Ridge at Pemberton’ and also ‘Tiyata Village at Pemberton’. These exciting new developments are in the final stages or construction with many lots already sold. The Village of Pemberton website has some valuable information regarding the building permit process for building on these new developments.

If you are looking to build on your newly purchased lot in Pemberton, or else where in the Sea to Sky Corridor, please don’t hesitate to contact us here at Twin Peaks Engineering for all you Consulting Structural Engineering needs.

Although the snow is still falling, many building projects in Whistler, Squamish and Pemberton are still moving forward. If you are thinking of building or renovating in 2016, now is the time to start considering what you need to submit to the local Council Authorities to get your building permit approved on time.

Typically the design phase of a project can be a lengthy process coordinating the client’s requirements between the relevant consultants.

At Twin Peaks Engineering, we aim to provide value for money and work seamlessly with other design consultants in a timely manner, in order to ensure that the building permit package is submitted on time. Past experience has shown that building permits (whether for large or small projects) have taken up to three months to be reviewed and approved within the Sea to Sky Corridor. This is not at fault of the local Council Authorities, but rather an indication of the shear volume of building permits that have been submitted.

As this building season is fast approaching, we are seeing the same trends as previous years with a large number of new projects coming through requiring building permit submission.

So, if you are considering utilising this 2016 building season, contact us here at Twin Peaks Engineering to find out how we can help you with your Consulting Structural Engineering needs within Whistler, Squamish or Pemberton for your exciting new project.

Twin Peaks Engineering is honored to be named in the Pique Magazine Best of Whistler 2015 – Best Trades Person. We would like to thank all our valued clients for voting for us. We continue to aim to provide the best value for money and customer service for all our customers for their construction projects.
