Given our latest office move, it's the perfect time to reflect on the journey that has brought us to where we are today.  From humble beginnings of our Co-Founder's row home to our spacious new location, every step of our office evolution has been a testament to our determination, hard work, and unwavering commitment to excellence.

Our story began with a vision and a dream.  In June 2010, we built a two-desk office in the basement of a Co-Founder's row home.  Though the desks remained empty for over two years, this period was crucial for laying the groundwork for what would become Capacity Engineering Ltd (CEL).  We spent countless hours planning, creating procedures, and producing our first edition of the CEL Operations Manual.

The years that followed were marked by steady growth and significant milestones.  May 29th, 2012, saw the three original co-founders meeting to discuss the future of CEL seriously, despite initial setbacks.  By December 31, 2013, we landed our first paying job, marking a significant turning point for our firm.

In January 2014, we hired a group of part-time Structural Engineering Interns, signalling the beginning of our expansion efforts.  June 23, 2016 marked another milestone as we hired our first full-time employee, a testament to our growing workload and expanding team.  In April 2018, we hired the first group of full-time Structural Engineering Interns, further solidifying our commitment to expansion and development.

Our journey of growth also saw us upgrading our office spaces to accommodate our expanding team.  We started with 102 Centrepointe on November 6, 2019, sub-leasing an office from a client and starting with a modest space of 120 sq. ft. and three desks.  By February 29, 2020, we had expanded our office space to 700 sq. ft., accommodating eight team members sharing seven desks.  On August 1, 2021 we moved into a larger space of 1497 sq. ft. at 220 Terence Matthews in Kanata, accommodating twelve desks and welcoming a new robo-vacuum to the team.

Fast forward to today, we find ourselves at our latest milestone: our move to 505 March Road.  With 4000 sq. ft. of space, including six closed offices, nine cubicle spaces, two conference rooms, a library, and a fully-equipped kitchen/lunchroom, we are poised for even greater success and growth in the years to come.

As we settle into our new space, we remain grateful for the journey that has brought us here and excited for the opportunities which lie ahead.  Our commitment to excellence, innovation, and teamwork remains as strong as ever, and we look forward to continuing to serve our clients with the same dedication and passion that has defined us from the very beginning.

Here's to the next chapter in the CEL journey!
