COMMERCIAL DEMAND IS
GROWING

With the increasing demand for commercial projects - both commercial/industrial based or agricultural-commercial developments,
Stonecrest Engineering provides a client-assisted approach to design and engineering on commercial projects. As well, we help our
clients through the intricate process of site planning and commercial/industrial development.

Development of the Stonecrest Engineering commercial division is into its second year and is based in our Woodstock
site office. In the past year, projects have ranged from feasibility studies to full project deliverables on varying types of
facilities including dealerships, transportation establishments, fertilizer production facilities and even elaborate personal
spa developments.
Bram Van den Heuvel and Natalie Catlos head up the Commercial
Division and together, deliver services that include site planning and
development, zoning amendments, completion of site plan control
submissions, structural drawings and project management.
Bram has always been our client’s go-to Project Designer for assistance
in building classifications and building code guidelines. Though
Stonecrest has always provided engineering to a multitude of projects,
until the past few years, most projects commercial in nature, still
had a strong element of the agricultural industry to them. Growing
restrictions on classification of a particular project can never be based
on zoning alone. Building uses, source of material for production and
type of business all have an impact on construction projects.

“The greatest reward from developing

the Stonecrest Engineering Commercial

Division is meeting our client’s needs.”

Developing this division has been a highlight for our staff. Bram Top right: Bram Van den Heuvel and Natalie Catlos, Stonecrest commercial

As we proceed into 2018, Stonecrest continues to look at ways
to provide a wider variety of services to our clients to inevitably
provide a one-stop-shop for commercial services.
