What MOTUS Consult does

Motus Consult Ltd. is a privately held Canadian structural and building enclosure engineering firm founded in 2009 by Brian Breukelman and Marty Deemter, with regional offices in Langley, British Columbia; Calgary, Alberta; and St. Catharines, Ontario. The firm is licensed to practice engineering in British Columbia, Alberta, and the Northwest Territories and operates a team of approximately 17 staff including Principals, senior engineers, engineers in training, BIM technologists, project managers, business development, and administrative personnel.

The firm's core offerings are integrated structural engineering and building enclosure (envelope) engineering delivered to construction and development clients across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. Specialized service lines include glazing design (curtain wall, window wall), vibration control and damping system consulting, historic restoration, wind and snow loading analysis, wind uplift design, green roof code compliance, computational engineering, and independent peer reviews. Project work is supported by industry-standard simulation and BIM platforms (SAP2000, S-Frame, Revit, AutoCAD, Rhino/Grasshopper, THERM, WUFI); no proprietary AI/ML systems, APIs, or software products are offered. Named clients include Cargill, Westco Construction, ZinCo Canada, Sable Group, and Borealis Development.

Motus generates revenue through project-based professional engineering consulting fees on a quote-by-quote basis; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led and Principals-driven, with client acquisition through direct engagement (a "Start a Conversation" CTA on the firm website), referrals, and project portfolio reputation. Marketing is limited to a website portfolio, LinkedIn presence, and direct outreach. The firm is entirely founder-owned, has no external investment or parent company, and operated at the time of writing with no disclosed revenue or ARR data.
