What to check when hiring structural engineers in Canada

MyTrustedTraders ranks on independent public evidence. No ads, no paid placement. Use these checks alongside the evidence on each profile before you decide who to contact.

  • Trade licensing in Canada is set by each province or territory. Electrical, gas and plumbing are licensed trades almost everywhere (for example ESA for electrical and TSSA for gas in Ontario), so check your provincial regulator that the contractor is certified for the work before you hire.
  • A construction lien is a real risk: in every province an unpaid subcontractor or supplier can register a lien against your home even if you already paid the main contractor. Hold back the statutory amount (commonly around 10%) and get signed lien waivers as you pay.
  • Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
  • Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work, and that they are current.
  • Get a written, itemized quote with scope, assumptions and a staged payment schedule.

How to judge a structural engineer

Independent, no-ads guidance. The trade-specific checks that matter most, the warning signs, and what to ask before you hire. Use it alongside each contractor’s public evidence above.

Verify before you hire

  • Structural engineering is a regulated profession: the person sealing your drawings must be a licensed Professional Engineer (P.Eng) registered with the provincial regulator: PEO (Ontario), Engineers and Geoscientists BC, APEGA (Alberta), or OIQ (Québec). Verify the licence on the regulator's register.
  • Removing a load-bearing wall, adding a beam, underpinning, or a second-storey addition normally needs stamped (sealed) structural drawings before the municipality will issue a permit.
  • Confirm whether the engineer will also do site review during construction and provide a letter of general review/commitment where the permit requires it.
  • Check professional liability (errors & omissions) insurance, which P.Engs are required to carry.

Warning signs of a rogue contractor

  • Not registered as a P.Eng with the provincial engineering regulator, or won't put a seal on the drawings.
  • A contractor offering to 'remove the wall' without engineered drawings where they're required.
  • No site review offered where the building permit asks for general review.
  • No professional liability insurance, or no written scope and fee.

Questions to ask before you hire

  • What is your P.Eng licence number and provincial regulator, and can I verify it?
  • Will you seal the structural drawings and provide any general-review letter the permit needs?
  • Will you review the framing on site during construction?
  • Do you carry professional liability insurance?

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose a trustworthy structural engineer?
Compare the public evidence on each profile: how many independent reviews they have and across how many named sources, the rating and how recent it is, any credential evidence, and the company status. A structural engineer backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one found in only one place.
Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend structural engineers for payment?
No. There are no ads and no paid placement. Structural engineers are ranked only by the strength of independent public evidence. No one can pay to rank higher, add a badge, or change their reviews.
Where do the reviews come from?
They're imported from named public review sources and always shown with the source named. They aren't reviews written on MyTrustedTraders. We cross-check the same business across sources rather than creating new reviews.
What should I check before hiring a structural engineer?
Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the structural engineer, get a written quote, and run the Cowboy Checker on the business first. MyTrustedTraders helps you shortlist on the evidence. It doesn't replace your own checks before you hire.
