What King Engineering does

King Engineering and Consulting is a private boutique engineering partnership founded in 2014 and headquartered in Calgary, Alberta. The firm delivers professional engineering consulting across four core practice areas — Water & Wastewater Engineering (treatment plants, de-sanitation plants, reservoirs, pumping stations), Industrial Engineering (food, bio-fuel, oil and gas, cannabis, co-generation/CHP facilities), Building Engineering (HVAC, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, energy audits), and Structural Engineering (stair wells, cat walks, foundations, building layouts) — plus a specialized Energy Modelling service. Service delivery spans the full project lifecycle from building design and construction through site renovations, upgrades, and mission-critical equipment integration, targeting commercial, residential, institutional, and industrial end-clients.

The firm's technical platform centers on IES (Integrated Environmental Solutions) dynamic thermal simulation software for building energy modelling, used to optimize performance throughout the design process and to produce the energy consumption and GHG emission reduction analyses required for multi-unit projects to qualify for Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) affordability, accessibility, and energy-efficiency incentives. Operations are nominally 24/7 and the firm claims affiliation with "the industry's leading professional societies and accreditations," though specific affiliations are not named.

The business model is project-based professional services with quote-based pricing tied to scope and complexity. Distribution is overwhelmingly direct — Wayne King, P.Eng is the primary point of contact and the website (kingengineering.ca) functions as the sole documented marketing channel, with no social media, paid advertising, channel partners, or formal alliances identified. The geographic footprint covers 8 Canadian provinces (Alberta as head office, plus British Columbia, Manitoba, Northwest Territories/Nunavut, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan, and Ontario), as well as Denver, Colorado (USA) and Mexico City (Mexico); the firm itself does not characterize this as a "global" footprint.

Core offering

King Engineering is a boutique partnership that delivers professional engineering consulting services across four core disciplines — Water & Wastewater Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Building Engineering, and Structural Engineering — spanning the entire project lifecycle from building design and construction to site renovations and upgrades to mission-critical equipment. The firm also provides specialized Energy Modelling services using IES simulation software to optimize building performance and help multi-unit projects qualify for CMHC incentives on affordability, accessibility, and energy efficiency.

Product overview

King Engineering offers a portfolio of integrated engineering services organized into four core practice areas: Water & Wastewater Engineering (treatment plants, de-sanitation, reservoirs, pumping stations), Industrial Engineering (food, bio-fuel, oil and gas, cannabis facilities, co-generation/CHP), Building Engineering (HVAC, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, energy audits), and Structural Engineering (stair wells, cat walks, foundations, building layouts). Their specialized Energy Modelling service uses IES simulation software to optimize building performance and generate reports for CMHC incentive qualification. These services work together to provide comprehensive engineering solutions across the entire project lifecycle from design through construction and upgrades.
