What Rocky Point Engineering does

Rocky Point Engineering Ltd. is a privately held mechanical engineering consulting firm headquartered in British Columbia, Canada, founded in 1997. The company designs HVAC, plumbing, fire protection, and energy modelling systems for buildings across residential, commercial, institutional, healthcare, civic, Indigenous, and energy/electrification sectors. Service delivery relies on conventional building-performance simulation tools (Trace, HAP, EE4, eQuest, RetScreen, IES Virtual Environment) combined with in-house expertise in LEED, Passive House, Step Code, and net-zero design; the firm holds approved-consultant status with FortisBC, BC Hydro, and CMHC, enabling it to feed utility and federal incentive programs.

The company operates from eight offices across British Columbia (Vancouver, Langley, Victoria, Nanaimo, Kelowna, Kamloops, Nelson, and Smithers), with the Smithers location opened in March 2023 to extend coverage into Northern BC. Its go-to-market is direct, relationship-driven sales to public-sector and institutional clients including school districts, health authorities, municipalities, First Nations, and developers. Revenue is generated through project-based consulting fees (hourly or fixed-fee) and is not publicly disclosed. The firm is founder/owner-operated with no institutional investors, no disclosed funding rounds, and a senior leadership team anchored by long-tenured Principals holding P.Eng., LEED AP, and ASHRAE credentials.
