Yes, an engineer is involved in most projects handled by Hénault et Gosselin, especially those involving structural elements, foundations, or building stability. When required by code or when the project is complex, a structural engineer is always included from the planning stage.

- Structural evaluation: identifying the root cause and recommending the proper solutions.
- Plan design: creating building code–compliant technical drawings.
- Method validation: approving techniques used for lifting, piling, or foundation replacement.
- Site supervision: ensuring proper execution and making adjustments as needed.
- Compliance report or certificate: provided at project completion if required by the city or for insurance.
