Shared project vision
Every discipline develops from the same building priorities, scope and information.
Alberta-wide project support
Complete Building Design & Engineering Services Across Alberta
One coordinated team for the architectural and engineering disciplines your building project needs—from early planning and space design to permit-ready documentation and construction support.

ONE DIRECTIONDisciplines connected before construction.
A coordinated approach
One building. One design direction. A team that works as one.
4MS aligns architectural and engineering decisions around a shared project strategy—giving owners, contractors and consultants clearer communication, coordinated documentation and fewer avoidable conflicts.
Earlier coordination
Layouts, equipment and service routes are aligned before they become field issues.
Clearer delivery
A consistent drawing package supports review, pricing and construction decisions.
02 / Capabilities
The disciplines your building project may require.
Scope is tailored to the building, use, existing conditions and approval path. Services may be delivered or coordinated through qualified project professionals as applicable.

Architectural Design & Coordination
Space planning, layouts, elevations and the architectural information needed to coordinate engineering systems.
Mechanical Engineering
Building mechanical systems, calculations, equipment selection and coordinated construction documentation.
HVAC Design
Heating, cooling, ventilation, exhaust, make-up air, loads, equipment and distribution layouts.
Plumbing Design
Water, drainage, venting, fixtures, hot-water systems and equipment connections.
05
Electrical & Structural Coordination
Bring electrical and structural requirements into the wider design when the project scope requires them.
06
Energy, NECB & Permit Support
Energy-modelling coordination, permit-ready packages and support during municipal review.
03 / Project path
From concept to permit to construction.
A disciplined sequence keeps the right decisions in the right order and gives every consultant a shared set of project information.
- 01
Consultation
Define the building use, goals, schedule and available information.
- 02
Planning
Develop the layout, space requirements and design direction.
- 03
Engineering
Prepare discipline-specific systems, calculations and drawings.
- 04
Coordination
Resolve interfaces between architecture, structure and building services.
- 05
Permit package
Assemble clear documentation for municipal review.
- 06
Review support
Coordinate responses and revisions when comments are issued.
- 07
Construction
Clarify design intent and support coordination during the build.
When disciplines develop their work in isolation, conflicts can remain hidden until review or construction. Coordinated design brings layouts, equipment, services and structural requirements together earlier.
Clearer scope
Know which disciplines and deliverables are required before work advances.
Aligned drawings
Coordinate building systems against a common architectural direction.
Fewer avoidable conflicts
Identify interfaces during design rather than leaving them for the field.
Continuity of support
Keep a knowledgeable team involved through review and construction questions.
05 / Project types
Built for real Alberta projects.
From existing commercial spaces to new buildings, each scope is shaped around the project rather than forced into a standard package.
Commercial
Tenant improvements, offices, retail and clinics
Hospitality
Restaurants and food-service spaces
Community
Daycares and childcare facilities
Building work
Renovations, change of use and new construction
Serving Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer, Lethbridge and communities throughout Alberta. Service coverage does not imply a physical office in every market.
06 / Common questions
What clients ask before starting.
Not sure which drawings or disciplines you need? Start with the building, intended use and information you already have.
What information do you need to start?+
Existing drawings, site information, the intended building use, project goals, schedule and any known landlord or municipal requirements are useful starting points.
Can 4MS coordinate several design disciplines?+
Yes. The scope can bring architectural and engineering requirements together through a coordinated project team and a clear point of contact.
Can you prepare a building permit package?+
4MS can coordinate permit-ready documentation and support responses during municipal review. Permit approval remains with the applicable authority.
Can you work with our existing architect or contractor?+
Yes. 4MS can integrate with an existing team and provide or coordinate the disciplines required for the agreed scope.
Do you work throughout Alberta?+
Yes. 4MS supports projects in Calgary, Edmonton and communities across Alberta, subject to project scope and scheduling.
