Direct peers

• Revery Architecture: Vancouver architecture firm with comparable mid-sized practice focused on cultural, institutional, and residential projects. Similar scale and regional positioning to PAI.
• DIALOG: Vancouver-headquartered interdisciplinary architecture and engineering firm (formerly Bing Thom Architects). Directly comparable in scale, regional base, and mixed cultural/institutional/commercial portfolio across Western Canada.
• Teeple Architects: Toronto- and Vancouver-based architecture firm known for sustainable institutional design. Co-collaborated with PAI on the UBC MacLeod Renewal, demonstrating directly overlapping expertise in institutional retrofits and sustainability.
• Michael Green Architecture: Vancouver-based architecture firm with deep specialization in mass timber and tall wood buildings. Closest direct competitor to PAI's mass timber practice and shares the same regional base.

Broad incumbents

• Perkins&Will: Global architecture firm with a Vancouver studio (formerly B+H). Competes with PAI for institutional and university clients (including UBC) but operates at much larger scale with broader service offering.
• Stantec Architecture: Global design and engineering firm with significant Canadian architecture practice. Competes for institutional and commercial projects in BC and Alberta where PAI operates.
• Lemay: Major Canadian architecture firm with strong design and sustainability credentials across cultural, commercial, and institutional sectors. Competes for similar institutional clients at a larger scale.
• KPMB Architects: Larger, established Canadian architecture firm with broad institutional, cultural, and university portfolio. Comparable in sustainability focus and cultural-sector work but operates at greater scale with multiple offices.

Others
