Alternative Solutions

Innovative Solutions for Complex Building Challenges

What We Do

Not Every Building or Renovation Project Fits Neatly into Standard Regulations

Our objective based codes are written to allow for the introduction of new construction techniques, materials and novel building design which may not have been considered during the development of the current building code being enforced. Prescriptive requirements can often hinder architectural visions or pose construction challenges when constructing new or altering existing buildings. To address these challenges, compliance with the building code can be demonstrated through alternative solutions utilizing an analytical process to assess compliance with the relevant areas of performance of the prescriptive requirement being varied.

  • Navigate complex building and fire codes.

  • Propose compliant alternatives for unique architectural or operational needs.

  • Minimize delays while ensuring safety and regulatory approval.
