Scoping call
A short call from the Kelowna branch to understand the building, the council's concerns, and any prior report. We confirm the scope and timeline before paperwork moves.
Local engineering for multi-family stratas across the Okanagan.
A locally staffed branch backed by the same multi-disciplined team that has served Lower Mainland strata corporations since 2012. Kelowna, West Kelowna, Vernon, Penticton, Summerland and the Southern Interior. Same engineers, same in-house seals, no Lower Mainland travel premium.

Pandosy Street office•
One office on Pandosy Street. One team of local engineers. The whole of the multi-disciplined firm behind them.
When an Okanagan council calls, a local engineer answers, walks the building, and writes the report. No file gets shipped to the coast and back. The Lower Mainland team is there for deeper specialist work, but the relationship stays here, in the valley.
From the Lake to the South Okanagan.

Different climate. Different building stock. Different failure patterns.
The Okanagan is not a coastal climate. Dry summers, cold winters and wildfire smoke exposure reshape what an envelope report has to look for, so our local engineers scope for the buildings that actually stand here.

Not sure where to start?
If your strata has not commissioned a report before, an investigation or scoping call is usually the right first step. A qualified engineer will walk through what your building actually needs, before you commit to a scope.

How we work
01/ 04
On-site inspection
A local engineer walks the building, no Lower Mainland travel premium. Envelope, structural, mechanical, electrical and geotechnical eyes on the property as the scope requires.
Okanagan-specific assessment
Findings read against the local climate: dry summers, cold winter cycles, wildfire smoke exposure and the age and type of Okanagan strata stock, not a coastal copy-paste.
Delivery and council presentation
Full written report, handed over with a live council presentation. We answer questions in the room and stay available for follow-up as the council plans around it.
Booked by referral, manager to manager.
"The team at Strata Engineering have worked tirelessly on a number of projects I've assigned to them to deliver the best possible results. Their knowledge and professionalism have encouraged me to refer them to my peers and use them regularly."
"I have always trusted Strata Engineering to handle the engineering needs of my portfolio; everything from general questions to major projects. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants confident solutions to their needs."
"Strata Engineering has always gone above and beyond when I have engaged their services. They are both accommodating to client schedules and leave no question unanswered, leaving me and my strata with peace of mind."
Questions from Okanagan property managers.
If yours is not covered, ask us on the call. We'll answer before anyone sends a proposal.
Is the Kelowna office a full branch or a satellite?
Full branch. The branch operates in the Okanagan as a dedicated office with local staffing and in-person availability for Okanagan property managers. The Vancouver team supports on deeper specialist work when needed.
Do you serve Vernon and Penticton, or just Kelowna?
Both. Our regular service area spans Kelowna, West Kelowna, Vernon, Coldstream, Lake Country, Summerland, Penticton, Oliver and Osoyoos. Travel beyond Kelowna is scoped transparently on the proposal.
Do you understand Okanagan-specific climate issues?
Yes. Dry summers, wildfire smoke exposure, cold winter cycles and the specific age/type of Okanagan strata stock all factor into our recommendations. Our approach is not a copy-paste of coastal methodology.
Can you handle wildfire-related reviews for strata councils?
Yes. Defensible space assessments, post-event condition reviews and rebuild scope work are increasingly common requests. We scope based on the specific site conditions and the council's concerns.
How fast can you get an engineer on-site in Kelowna?
Usually within one to three business days for new scopes in Kelowna and West Kelowna. Vernon and Penticton typically within a week depending on scheduling. Urgent matters always get prioritized.
Are your reports accepted by Okanagan strata corporations and insurers?
Yes. We are an EGBC member firm with full general liability coverage. Our depreciation reports and warranty reviews meet BC Strata Property Act requirements and are accepted by insurers and lenders across the province.
