A2S Consulting Engineers

A2S is a consulting engineering firm that proudly services Northern Ontario from our office in Sudbury. We were founded in 2014 by Aaron Dent and Steve Cairns, who, combined, have more than 35 years of practical consulting engineering experience in Northern Ontario. We specialize in structural engineering, condition evaluations and restoration projects for a wide variety of building types including elementary schools, secondary schools, post-secondary schools, hospitals / health-care facilities, offices, manufacturing facilities, commercial properties, industrial facilities, long-term care residences, multi-tenant residences and residential. Our project experiences range in scope from $350M+ hospital additions to $1,000 residential renovations. A2S recognizes and understands that buildings in Northern Ontario often have different needs when compared to buildings in Southern Ontario. Northern Ontario also has access to numerous skilled trades and local materials, whose use benefits our communities. Knowing how to leverage these resources and materials results in lower building costs, less time under construction and smoother projects. Our reputation has been built on our years of delivering successful projects by communicating effectively and working in conjunction with all stake-holders involved in a given project including the owner, other consultants, the community and the builder. We strive to be responsible corporate citizens and lead by example in our social and environmental initiatives. Pillars of our ideology include giving back to our community, supporting local business, providing a high-quality / flexible work environment for our employees and making sustainably responsible choices.
