Founded in Ottawa, as a multi-disciplinary engineering firm, it has grown into a professional practice offering a wide range of services, from architecture to industrial, commercial, and institutional clients. It is an engineering, architecture, planning, and project management firm, offering services in water and wastewater treatment, mining, manufacturing, and infrastructure.

It is known for its involvement in iconic, high-profile Ottawa buildings, including the Canadian Tire Centre and the Macdonald Cartier International Airport expansion.
