Our Company
Who Are We?
Fishburn Sheridan Canada Ltd. provides engineering services for building owners, managers, and other construction industry clients from six offices across Eastern Canada. Originally founded in 2001, the firm remains 100% employee owned.
FSA provides unparalleled expertise in investigating, assessing, and resolving engineering problems relating to roofs, building envelopes, building enclosures, and building structures. We are noted for our experience, state-of-the-art equipment and techniques, and for our independent and unbiased approach to building construction and performance issues.
Our Commitment to Objectivity
FSA only knows how to work one way – with fierce independence and objectivity in finding the best engineering solutions for our clients. While we do maintain cordial relations with materials suppliers and contractors, we serve only one client on our projects, and that client can expect us to work in a diligent and unbiased manner on their behalf. Our staff are guided by the Codes of Ethics of our professional organizations such as PEO, OIQ, OACETT, and IIBEC. Our project designs are specific and detailed, and they encourage competition between several competing material suppliers and contractors. This promotes more accurate and competitive bidding, and fewer costly surprises.
FSA is wholly employee-owned and performs only engineering and consulting work. We have no ties of any kind with any materials manufacturer or supplier, or with any contractor. This allows us to act consistently in our client’s interest, without fear of conflicts of interest. The same cannot be said for material manufacturers and distributors who also provide design and consulting services, since their interest in specifying and selling their own materials is at odds with a truly competitive and objective design and construction process.
We’re always looking for new people to work with. Interested?
