Structural Engineering Services in Okotoks
Tam-Crete Engineering delivers a full range of structural engineering services in Okotoks — from straightforward beam calculations to complete new construction drawing packages. Here is what Okotoks clients work with us on most:
Beam Design & Load-Bearing Wall Removal
Opening up a kitchen, creating an open-concept living area, or combining rooms in an Okotoks home all require professional beam design and structural assessment. Our beam design and load-bearing wall removal service provides a full structural analysis, custom beam sizing (steel or LVL), and stamped permit drawings accepted by the Town of Okotoks — so your renovation moves forward without structural risk or permit delays.
Residential Structural Engineering for New Construction
New home construction in Okotoks requires engineered foundation plans, floor joist layouts, and structural drawing packages that meet the Alberta Building Code. Our residential structural engineering team handles the full structural scope for custom homes, infill lots, and spec builds throughout Okotoks and the surrounding area.
Structural Inspection Letter Okotoks
When a home inspector flags a foundation crack, a failing beam, or a structural concern in an Okotoks property, lenders and insurers require a formal P.Eng letter before proceeding. Our structural inspection service delivers a stamped structural inspection letter within 48 to 72 hours of the site visit — keeping real estate deals, insurance claims, and permit applications on track.
Garage Foundation & Slab Engineering
New garage construction in Okotoks requires engineered foundation drawings that account for Alberta’s frost depth and the specific soil conditions of the Foothills region. Our garage foundation engineer team delivers permit-ready slab and foundation designs sized and detailed for Okotoks building permit requirements.
Engineering Permit Drawings
Structural modifications in Okotoks require permit drawings prepared by a licensed engineer. Our engineering permit drawings are stamped by a P.Eng and submitted with complete structural calculations — giving the Town of Okotoks building department exactly what it needs to approve your application without back-and-forth.
Retaining Wall Engineering
Okotoks properties — particularly on sloped lots near the Sheep River — often require engineered retaining walls. Our retaining wall engineering service provides structural analysis, design drawings, and stamped documentation for walls requiring a building permit in Okotoks and the Municipal District of Foothills.
Screw Pile Engineering
For Okotoks decks, additions, and structures on disturbed or expansive ground, helical pile systems are often the preferred foundation solution. Our screw pile engineering team designs and stamps pile systems matched to local soil conditions and Town of Okotoks permit requirements.
Multifamily Structural Engineering
Okotoks is seeing increased demand for duplex and semi-detached infill projects. Our multifamily structural engineering services cover shared-wall systems, floor and roof structures, and full permit drawing packages for multi-unit residential developments throughout Okotoks.
Structural Engineer Consultation
Not sure whether a wall is load-bearing, whether your foundation needs remediation, or how to approach a structural challenge on your Okotoks property? Our structural engineering consultation service gives you a clear, expert assessment before you commit to a full project scope — saving time and preventing costly surprises.
Why Okotoks Property Owners Choose Tam-Crete Engineering
Licensed to Practice Across Alberta — Including Okotoks
Tam-Crete Engineering holds an active APEGA Permit to Practice, and all structural work is signed and stamped by Tamer Fatouh, P.Eng. — an APEGA-registered engineer (ID: 271388) fully authorized to practice structural engineering in Okotoks and every municipality in Alberta. Our stamps are accepted by the Town of Okotoks building department and the Municipal District of Foothills.
Local Knowledge of Okotoks Building Conditions
Okotoks sits in the Foothills region at the edge of the Rocky Mountain Front, which means its structural environment is distinct from Calgary’s. The area’s expansive clay and silt soils, proximity to the Sheep River floodplain, and significant frost depth all influence how foundations, retaining walls, and slabs must be designed. Our engineers account for these conditions in every structural engineering Okotoks project we take on — not just the code minimum.

Construction timelines in Okotoks are tight, and permit offices move on their own schedule.
