Spratt Emanuel Engineering Ltd. specializes in Building Envelope Consulting Services and Building Envelope Restoration Design and Management Services. Seeking to achieve the highest standards of excellence, we are dedicated to the design and construction of durable buildings. We provide professional engineering expertise to architectural firms, developers, various levels of government, strata councils, hospital boards and universities.
OUR CLIENTS
From emerging teams to well established industry leaders, developers and builders depend on our expertise in the field of building science to find practical and economical approaches. Since our inception, we have worked diligently to maintain solid relationships with a powerhouse roster of clients throughout Western Canada by approaching projects with a balanced perspective while maintaining best practice standards.
It is our objective to provide the architect with the tools and advice to maintain sound building science principles with due regard for the unique architectural vision of every building. We work with the design team from the early design stage to identify and assist in detailing critical design details; and continue through construction to validate their proper implementation and conformance to project specifications. As the Building Envelope Professional, we share joint responsibility for Part 5 building code requirements with the Architect of Record; we therefore strive to work in unison to make each design vision a successful reality.
We assist property managers, multi-unit strata corporations, and owners of residential and commercial properties to assess the condition of the subject building. Whether it is for the purposes of proactive building envelope maintenance or as an investigative and repair measure, we can help identify key issues, develop a maintenance or repair plan, and supervise the contractor’s work to service and extend the life of the property.

Gordon Spratt, M.Eng., P.Eng. (retired), graduated from McGill University in 1956 with a Civil Engineering Master's degree. Mr. Spratt arrived in Vancouver, and in 1964 began a career as an independent Professional Engineer. His expertise varied as his career followed the trajectory of civil construction history in British Columbia during the great dam building era of the 60's and 70's, which also coincided with the transformation of the Vancouver West End into concrete residential high-rise towers.
Mr. Spratt provided expertise in materials, concrete technology, roller compacted concrete, and materials testing. During the 80's and 90's, this background led to building envelope engineering, cladding and window design, construction quality assurance reviews, and finally into the investigation of building envelope failures in the mid to late 90's, when the field of Building Sciences was in its infancy. Mr. Spratt was truly a pioneer seeking better materials and construction methods to result in more durable buildings. His legacy is the professional services he provided to contractors, developers, property owners, property managers, and all levels of government throughout his long career.
He retired from Spratt Emanuel Engineering in 2015 and we continue to build on the foundation of knowledge and dedication of Gordon Spratt, and give thanks for his decades of service to the community and engineering profession!
