What Wedler Engineering does

Wedler Engineering, LLP is an employee-owned Canadian civil engineering consulting firm founded in 1957 and headquartered in Chilliwack, British Columbia. The firm delivers planning, design, feasibility studies, project management, contract administration, and inspection services across eight interconnected service lines: Land Development, Municipal Infrastructure, Onsite Wastewater, Construction Administration, Modeling and Asset Management, Condition Assessments, Topographic Survey, and Public Engagement and Policy Development. It serves four primary customer segments — municipal governments, private developers, First Nations communities, and government agencies — across Western Canada, with named clients spanning the City of New Westminster, Town of Comox, City of Maple Ridge, District of Mission, Vancouver Airport Authority (YVR), two First Nations, and private developers such as Westbow Construction, Canada Lands Company, MacDonald Development, and Infinity Properties.

The firm's technical capabilities are built on industry-standard engineering software platforms — Bentley WaterCAD, EPAnet, Innovyze InfoWater, InfoSWMM, CHI PCSWMM, Civil3D, and ESRI ArcGIS — for water, stormwater, and sanitary modeling plus asset mapping, and on GPS, total station, and drone-based photogrammetry for topographic survey. It does not develop proprietary software, AI/ML systems, or data products; differentiation rests on human expertise and institutional knowledge of local bylaws, standards, and infrastructure across BC and Alberta.

Wedler operates a partner-led engagement model through five regional offices (Chilliwack HQ, Abbotsford, Courtenay, Surrey, Calgary) with a partner assigned to every project. Revenue is generated through professional services fees billed on hourly rates, fixed project fees, or contract administration fees, with multi-year engagements typical. The firm is privately held as a partnership of corporations, with no external investors, funding rounds, or public listing; commercial expansion is funded internally and through incremental office openings (most recently Calgary in 2023) and the 2017 acquisition of Lang Civil Group.
