Our Services
Project Management Services
The key project measurables of time, cost and quality are the focus of the project manager. As professional project managers, registered with the project management Institute (PMI®), Truman Engineering Services ensures these key measures are met with each project. Each indicator is measured using professionally developed techniques adapted to the construction processes. The overriding measurement is of Client Satisfaction, a measure of project quality. Our collaborative strategy and techniques identify Client requirements and our project delivery systems ensure they are achieved. Communication with Information Management underpin our success.
Building Assessment Services
Whether you are purchasing a building, planning your future capital expenditures or require repairs to existing facilities, Truman Engineering Services can provide the knowledge you need to maximize profits and ensure project success. In today’s saturated real estate market, facility costs and building technologies can be leveraged to deliver greater portfolio gains. Knowledge reduces portfolio risk. Our expertise ensures accurate diagnosis.
Building Repair Services
Water leakage is the major source of premature building deterioration, not to mention a source of aggravation to occupants and property managers. Successful repair strategies balance the Client’s time and cost requirements and building performance. Our team of professionals will work with you in assessing the cause of deterioration and to develop a repair plan that suites your needs. Our investigative approach ensures successful restoration.
We specialize in all building envelope components such as parking garages, balconies, masonry and stucco cladding, windows, roof systems, etc. Our thorough understanding of all building systems provides confidence to our clients that any of their building issues will be resolved. We get involved, it gets resolved. Our materials and technology expertise and construction knowledge add value to each Client’s project.
Structural Design Services
We provide required structural engineering services for our Building Repair and Facility Renovation projects. Our focus is on providing engineering design as part of a package of services aimed at meeting our Client’s needs and expectations. Project success is ultimately attained by clearly understanding the project scope, timelines, and budget constraints. Traditional design approaches do not always meet the needs of all stakeholders, often “according to Code” but at the Client’s expense.
Our process-based approach, delivered as Project Management Professionals (PMP®), highlights the key project objectives of time, cost and quality – Customer Satisfaction – in meeting the needs of all project stakeholders.
Truman Engineering Services unique analytical skill set ensures structural solutions that are cost effective, constructible and realize the design intent. Our design successes range from 5,000sf timber frame cottages to unite home construction, to 6 story condo in light gauge steel.
Energy Based Retrofit Services
Truman Engineering Services is included in the National Research Council’s (NRC) Energy Management Services Directory on the Office of Energy Efficiency (OEE) Web site.

Our facility life-cycle approach is founded in sound financial planning, beginning with your reserve fund plan. We save building owners money by combining:
1. solid planning
2. expert team
3. non-proprietary design, leading to reduced service costs
4. tendering to competent and eager contractors
5. Owner’s agent representation throughout the construction
6. procurement management for service contracts
We believe our approach is best suited to providing value and meeting our clients’ fiscal responsibilities. Our knowledge of the energy retrofit process and ability to incorporate reserve fund plan objectives into a comprehensive building energy management plan suited to each client’s risk level. You will realize additional savings though our engineering and financial partners, who offer more competitive terms and complete knowledge.
Our “greengineering™” analysis includes Building Envelope, Fire Safety, Mechanical, Electrical, and Hydro analysis to provide an overall baseline picture of your building’s physical and financial health. For condominiums our analysis includes a review of your Reserve Fund Plan, the backbone for planning all building projects. All projects are evaluated on an ROI basis, turning projects that are otherwise direct costs into savings opportunities.
This analytical approach – “greengineering¬” – beats “greenwashing”, adding real value rather than a label.
