🚨 New 2024 Ontario Building Code Update 🚨 The new 2024 Ontario Building Code comes into effect on January 1, 2025! There will be a 3-month transition period where Municipalities may accept submissions under the current 2012 Building Code — if the design is substantially completed by December 31, 2024. ⏳ However, after April 1, 2025, all permit submissions must comply with the updated 2024 Building Code, so plan ahead! These changes could affect your project’s design, cost, and schedule. Is your project ready? Do you need more details? Our team is here to help guide you through these changes and ensure compliance. #OntarioBuildingCode #OBC2024 #BuildingRegulations #ConstructionUpdate #ProjectPlanning #Compliance #structuralengineering #civilengineering #mechanicalengineering #electricalengineering #buildingdesign #planning #geomatics #southwesterontario #ontario #kitchener #kitchenerwaterloo #ldnont #ldnontario #londonontario #design #construction

Project Highlight || 71 Main Street This project features a 9-story residential building in the central area of Dundas, Ontario. The building consists of a single level of below-grade parking, a main level of shared parking, amenity space, and (8) levels of residential units above. The below-grade and main floor levels are being constructed using full cast-in-place concrete, while the upper floors utilizing total precast concrete construction. The building’s foundation combines both a raft foundation and conventional spread footing construction. A distinctive structural aspect that the team tackled was designing the 2nd level CIP slab to act as a “transfer slab” supporting and modifying the load path of the total precast structure above which includes an approx. 4m cantilever of the (8) storey tower along the south elevation. The project is also designed to achieve Passive House requirements which designates the building as a high-performance building that reduces greenhouse gas emissions with resilience to withstand extreme weather related to climate change. SBM was retained to provide Structural, and both electrical and mechanical engineering consulting services. The construction commenced early in 2023. Full occupancy is expected in the summer of 2024.
