Why AMP Engineering

Engineers Who Build

We don't just draw plans. With decades of hands-on construction, mining, and heavy equipment experience, our engineering is informed by what actually happens on site — not just what looks good on paper.

Small Firm, Full Capability

You deal directly with the engineers doing the work. No junior PMs, no layers of bureaucracy. We're flexible enough to tailor every project to what you actually need.

Specialists in the Difficult

Waterfront sites, steep terrain, heritage buildings, challenging permits — the projects other firms hesitate on are exactly where we deliver. If it's straightforward, any firm can handle it. When it's not, call AMP.

Heritage & Award-Winning Work

Our fire escape restoration at 12 Wellington Street received a Heritage Kingston Award — combining modern structural engineering with respect for heritage architecture.

Not Sure Where to Start?

Building permits, renovation approvals, and municipal requirements can feel overwhelming — especially if you've never been through the process before.

We help homeowners and property owners navigate every step: from initial drawings and engineering requirements to submission and municipal approval. Whether you're renovating a kitchen, adding a deck, converting a basement, or building new — we'll walk you through what's needed and handle the engineering side so you don't have to figure it out alone.
