Careers
At McAuley Consulting you will apply the spectrum of skills developed over your career on significant architectural projects in the Lower Mainland and beyond. Building code consulting and especially Certified Professional (CP) services demand principled analysis that balances the building code with other project requirements. This is a rewarding branch of architecture that will allow you to work independently on a range of building types and contribute in a meaningful way at key points in the design process.
We have developed a reputation for being a responsive and accountable consultant who understands more than just the building code. Our clients, consultants, and the authorities we work with expect us to provide guidance on the principles of the code, propose project specific interpretations, and facilitate building and occupancy permits through the CP stream. Our projects range in scale from multi-phased master planned developments to helping with a friend’s home renovation project that is stuck in review at the city. However, at the core of our practice is complex projects with strong design teams where we can best leverage our expertise. We have the privilege of collaborating with some of the most innovative architects in BC on prominent buildings where the expertise of a senior architect can be applied.
