BE3I Engineers

Steel structure engineering: heavy residential, plex, commercial and industrial

BE3I supports steel structure projects, multi-story mezzanines, and commercial and industrial buildings in the Greater Montreal area. From plan design to construction supervision, our engineers develop safe, sustainable structural solutions tailored to each project.

Structural expertise for your large-scale projects

BE3I designs and inspects complex structures in Greater Montreal. Beyond single-family homes, our team works on larger-scale projects: multi-story plexes, multi-family residential buildings, commercial spaces, warehouses, and industrial buildings.

Our engineers specialize in concrete, engineered wood, and steel structure and framing design. Each project is evaluated based on loads, building constraints, its intended use, and the requirements of the Québec Construction Code.

Whether you are undertaking new construction, an expansion, or the transformation of an existing building, BE3I supports you from the initial analysis through to plan preparation and construction supervision.

Our structural, commercial, and heavy residential services

BE3I supports the design, renovation, and transformation of multi-story plexes, multi-family residential buildings, and larger-scale residential properties.

Our engineers are analyzing the foundations, load-bearing walls, beams, columns, and floors to ensure the stability and safety of the building, in accordance with the expertise recognized by’Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec in structure, framing and foundations.

Mixed-use commercial space in Montreal with a structure designed by a commercial structural engineer

Commercial and mixed-use buildings

Our team works on commercial premises, mixed-use residential and commercial buildings, mezzanines, and conversions of existing buildings. A commercial structural engineer analyzes the loads and constraints specific to the project in order to size the load-bearing elements and produce the plans necessary for its completion. The objective is to develop a functional, safe solution tailored to the use of the building.
Warehouse and industrial building for a commercial structure project

Industrial buildings and warehouses

BE3I provides structural design for industrial buildings, warehouses, and long-span structures. These projects require precise analysis of loads, spans, space utilization, and the constraints specific to the building's operations. Our engineers can work on new construction projects as well as the expansion or modification of existing buildings to adapt the structure to new requirements.

Steel structure and metal framework

Steel structure is particularly well-suited for commercial and industrial buildings, as well as projects requiring long spans or high layout flexibility. BE3I provides the design and sizing of the steel framework, including beams, columns, and connections. Our engineers determine the necessary dimensions and structural solutions based on the loads and project characteristics.

Structural solutions tailored to each project

BE3I intervenes at different stages of a building's life cycle, whether for a new project or a major transformation. Before any intervention, our engineers assess the existing structure as well as the new loads to determine the most appropriate solution.

New construction

Complete design of the building structure, sizing of load-bearing elements, and preparation of the plans necessary for the realization of the project.

Enlargement

Analysis of the existing structure and design of the new elements required to safely integrate the extension into the building.

Change of use

A change of use can significantly alter the loads imposed on a structure. Our engineers verify the building's capacity and determine the necessary reinforcements.

Compliance upgrade

Assessment of existing structural elements and design of necessary modifications or reinforcements to adapt the building to the requirements applicable to the project.

Why choose BE3I Ingénieurs?

Expertise in complex structures

Our team works on heavy residential, commercial, and industrial projects requiring a deep understanding of loads, materials, and structural systems.

Tailored building solutions

Every building presents its own constraints. Our engineers develop solutions tailored to the building's use, the architectural project, and existing conditions.

Support from design to construction

BE3I can assist you from plan analysis and design to construction supervision, ensuring technical continuity throughout the project.

BE3I ENGINEERS

A comprehensive approach to structural engineering

The success of a commercial or industrial project relies just as much on a suitable structural design as on the condition of the foundations and the quality of the construction work.

Structures and Foundations

Have the existing structure, foundations, and load-bearing elements of your building analyzed before undertaking major renovation work.

Work supervision

Ensure work complies with the plans, the engineer's recommendations, and the requirements set for your project.

Are you planning to add another floor?

Discover the elements to check before raising an existing building, notably the capacity of the structure and foundations.

Do you have a commercial, industrial, or multi-story project?

Are you planning a multi-story plex, a warehouse, an industrial building, or a project requiring a solid structure? BE3I assists you with the analysis, design, and realization of your project to develop a structural solution tailored to your needs.
