Whether it’s reconfiguring a hospital wing, supporting signage for a mall storefront, or reinforcing trusses for a new arena scoreboard, we have an appreciation for the unique demands of special projects, as well as the integration between new and existing structures.

Entuitive’s special projects team works with architects, developers, contractors, and building operators to deliver on structural projects with critical timelines under unique constraints. Our expertise includes building improvements, tenant renovations, tieback anchors, building condition assessments, new additions, and public art installations.

We Simplify the Complex

Our team is well-versed in managing the risks of expedited delivery and minimal disruption of existing business operations while ensuring project success.

Building on a solid reputation of collaboration with building owners and managers, architects, subconsultants, and contractors, our Special Projects & Renovations team understands the challenges of working in operational facilities, public areas, and construction sites.

Entuitive’s commitment to the latest modelling technology also allows us to analyze complex geometries in real time, providing design feedback and options to our clients. This enhances the collaborative process with all stakeholders, as we undergo an iterative process to provide a solution that takes all considerations into account.

Our strong relationships and collaborative approach help us formulate innovative designs and construction solutions for each project we undertake.
