What Bunt & Associates Engineering does

Bunt & Associates Engineering Ltd. is a privately held transportation planning and engineering consulting firm founded in 1993 in Vancouver, Canada, by Paul Bunt, Peter Joyce, and Glen Pardoe. The firm specializes in Transportation Impact Assessments (TIA), Active Transportation Planning, Transportation Demand Management (TDM), right-sizing parking analysis, multimodal network planning, and traffic operations and micro-simulation modeling, serving public sector clients (municipalities, regional districts, Indigenous communities) and private sector developers across Western Canada. It operates five offices in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Victoria, and Kelowna, with a team of 60+ transportation engineers, planners, technologists, and support staff.

The firm's revenue model is professional services consulting on a project-by-project basis, with relationships spanning hundreds of repeat clients over 30+ years and thousands of completed projects since 2017. Notable engagements include the Oakridge Redevelopment, Calgary Event Centre, East Village Area Redevelopment, Rogers Place Arena & Ice District, SFU Campus Master Plan, UBC Okanagan Master Plan, and the 2023 Metro Vancouver/Fraser Valley Industrial Parking Study (62 facilities, conducted in partnership with NAIOP Vancouver). Business development is driven through industry organization memberships, conference sponsorships (ITE Canada, TAC, ACEC-BC, UDI, BILD), career fair engagement, thought leadership content (Bunt Bits, Insights articles), and direct client relationships - there are no reseller or intermediary channels.

Bunt transitioned leadership in May 2023 when Daniel Fung became President, succeeding Glen Pardoe who moved to Lead, Business Development & Communications. The firm is privately owned with no disclosed institutional funding, has a Board of Directors with 40% female representation (exceeding ACEC Canada's 2030 target), and operates a Project Manager-In-Training (PMiT) program to develop internal talent. Recent product differentiators include proprietary right-sizing parking methodology and TDM framework development, with the firm positioning itself at the intersection of regulatory shift away from minimum parking requirements and growing demand for multimodal, sustainable transportation infrastructure.
