Altin Engineering LTD

We are a Vancouver-based civil and structural engineering team with over 20 years of expertise in building design, safety, and structural solutions. Our services go beyond location and market value—providing property buyers, investors, and developers with in-depth insight into structural feasibility, renovation costs, additions, and redevelopment potential. By combining technical precision with market awareness, we help our clients save money, time, and minimize risk.

Structural Engineering

We offer pre-purchase property assessments.  We offer buyers a professional review of structural soundness, seismic safety, and the feasibility of planned renovations (e.g., “Can we add a laneway house? Can we open this wall?”). We provide clear cost/feasibility implications before they buy. We offer highest and best use analysis. Many foreign or first-time investors don’t understand Vancouver’s seismic risk. We highlight risks, insurance implications, and mitigation strategies — giving them confidence.

CONSTRUCtion for Developers

For developers/investors we offer assess zoning potential plus structural adaptability. Value-add renovations work with homeowners and realtors to identify which structural improvements (basement suites, extensions, laneway homes) will add the most property value. Developers want quick answers: “Can I build this here? How tall? How wide?” We offer combine real estate market knowledge (neighborhood comps, zoning bylaws, market rents) with structural feasibility (site conditions, soil, retaining walls, seismic requirements).
