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.<\/p>

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 Qu\u00e9bec Construction Code.<\/p>

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.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

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

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\u2019Ordre des ing\u00e9nieurs du Qu\u00e9bec<\/a> in structure, framing and foundations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n 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.\n\nOur engineers can work on new construction projects as well as the expansion or modification of existing buildings to adapt the structure to new requirements. <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
