Together + Better

Pretium is a cadre of leading building scientists, construction experts, and engineers who guide the entire continuum of the design, construction and lifetime management of the built environment.

For Pretium, together and better are how we begin and complete every building science, mechanical engineering and structural consulting assignment. We are about planning and performing to solve the problems that affect every building across its life cycle.

We serve building owners and managers from our locations in Toronto, Kitchener, Burlington, Richmond Hill, and Ottawa.

Pretium is staffed by more than 85 highly skilled leaders with technical expertise, project management skills, and the financial acumen that only an owner can bring.

Our founders were legends of building science who believed that sustainable construction and renewal were the best ways to care for our economy and environment.
