Multi-disciplinary consulting engineers
Consulting engineers for condominiums and existing buildings.
Trace Consulting Group is a GTA-based engineering firm with deep condominium expertise. We serve Ontario condo boards and property managers through reserve fund studies, performance audits, capital planning, retrofits and life safety, and we bring the same engineering depth to rental, commercial, industrial, institutional and retail clients across Canada.
Sectors
Who we work for.
More than eighty percent of our work is for condominium corporations, and the same engineers serve five other building sectors. One firm, one standard.

Services
What we do.
Eight services across three practice areas, from the first assessment to the last deficiency closed.
Capital Planning & Assessments
Reserve Fund Studies
Class 1, 2 and 3 studies for Ontario condominium corporations under the Condominium Act, with a 30-year funding analysis your board can defend, and the long-term plan that turns the study into year-by-year capital decisions.
Capital Planning & Assessments
Performance Audits
Common element performance audits for newly registered Ontario condominiums in the 6-to-10-month window, with deficiency tracking, Tarion submission and warranty follow-through that protects the claim window.

Property Condition Assessments
Due diligence and capital planning assessments for buyers, lenders and owners, from single buildings to institutional portfolios.
Capital Planning & Assessments
Energy Audits
ASHRAE Level 1, 2 and 3 audits, EWRB benchmarking and retrofit identification, integrated with your reserve fund plan.

Capital Replacements & Retrofits
Design, tendering and delivery of boilers, chillers, electrical distribution, generators, EV charging and envelope work, phased so residents and tenants stay in place.
Engineering Design & Retrofits

Full Project Management
End-to-end delivery from condition assessment through tender, construction administration and post-occupancy review. One firm, one point of accountability.
Management & Investigations

The Firm
Engineering depth a reserve-fund-only shop cannot match.
Trace Consulting Group is a multi-disciplinary firm: mechanical, electrical, building science and fire protection under one roof. The engineer estimating your boiler replacement in a reserve fund study is a P.Eng. with active retrofit experience. The engineer reviewing your fire alarm understands the verification standards because we do that work too.
Founded in 2016 and based in the GTA, we are authorized by Professional Engineers Ontario and licensed in British Columbia, Alberta, Quebec, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland and Labrador. Founder Sam Soltani, P.Eng., C.Eng., LEED AP, serves on the Board of Directors of CAI Canada.
