Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible moms and mother figures who build, support, inspire, and hold everything together; both at home and beyond!
We could not have come this far without you! Today (and ideally everyday) we celebrate you. 💐
PS. If your loved ones haven’t already given you flowers, now is your chance to poke them! 😂

At WHM, we recognize that this May 5th, red dresses are not just symbols; they are powerful, visceral reminders of the vibrant lives taken too soon and the families forever changed...
Each dress represents a daughter, a mother, a sister, or a friend from Indigenous, 2SLGBTQI+, and gender diverse communities who should rightfully still be here today, with us.
We believe that the red reflects the blood that was shed - yes, but it also speaks much more powerfully to the strength and resilience of those who remain. We stand in the silence left behind and transform it into a collective call for justice, healing, and accountability.
Today, we remember their names, honour their spirits, and commit ourselves to a future where no more sisters are stolen.

May the Fourth be with you ALL✨💫
At WHM, we like to think that our great engineering has a bit of the Force behind it; precision, balance, and structures that stand the test of time. 😉
A toast to strong foundations, smart design, and projects that hold the galaxy together!

Nothing fancy in this new home but the story is amazing. We built this home in just two weeks partially self funded and also with the help of some great donors like Summerhill Fine Homes, WHM Engineers and AFC construction. This family had been praying for a new home and on an average family income of only $600USD per month they were destined to live in a unacceptable poverty conditions. Often mud floors, scavenged materials for walls, thatched roof or scrap metal and open to intruders human and animal alike. To lock a door and flush a toilet is to get a step up in life and gives both hope and inspiration to the children. Thanks to Hope of Life International the NGO that facilitates this kind of grass roots service work.
Building for the future requires a commitment to the present.
WHM Structural Engineers is proud to announce the submission of our 2026 Embodied Carbon Action Plan (ECAP) as part of our continued commitment to the SE2050 Challenge.
We support the SEI vision that all structural engineers must understand, reduce, and ultimately eliminate embodied carbon in their projects by 2050. By incorporating sustainable strategies at the structural level, we are driving meaningful change from the ground up.

When a client says, “we need someone with more experience.."
Meanwhile, WHM casually wrapping up projects like the Great Wall, Pyramids, Big Ben, Parliament, and the White House before lunch 🤝
But yeah, we’ll circle back once we’ve gained a bit more “experience” 😌

Day two of humanitarian trip to Guatemala building a house for a family in need. Never underestimate the power of small gestures. We could not do this without our partners in sponsorship and a special call out to AFC Construction, Summerhill Fine Homes and WHM Engineers for their amazing generosity in spirit and in financial assistance. Architecture and building does not have to be grand to have an impact.
It’s Friday AND International Day of Happiness… which means productivity is cancelled and vibes are legally required 😌
Please direct all emails to “next week me,” who is much more responsible and slightly more hydrated.
Today’s agenda includes... smiling for no reason, pretending work doesn’t exist after 5pm, and aggressively protecting good vibes only.
If you’re not happy yet, don’t worry, it’s Friday. It’s loading. 😂

Weyerhaeuser invited the WHM team to tour their Parallam manufacturing facility on Annacis Island yesterday!
The visit began with an overview of the manufacturing process, starting with wood veneers, followed by resin application, pressing the members, and finally cutting the beams to their specified widths and depths. It was impressive to see the level of engineering, precision, and quality control involved in producing each structural member.
One of the highlights of the tour was observing live load testing of the beams to confirm they meet the required performance standards. Opportunities to see structural members tested to failure in real time are rare and provided valuable insight into the rigorous testing behind these materials.
The tour was highly informative for the team and served as a great reminder of the research, testing, and manufacturing expertise that support the materials we specify in our projects. It is always valuable to step away from the office and see firsthand how these structural products are manufactured.

Today we recognize International Women‘s Day and celebrate the women who help shape our communities, our profession, and our future.
At WHM, we are grateful for the talented women across our team and industry who bring leadership, creativity, and dedication to the work we do every day. From engineering and design to collaboration and mentorship, their contributions strengthen our projects and the communities we serve.
We also recognize that building a more inclusive profession requires ongoing commitment. Today is that moment to celebrate progress, reflect on the work still ahead, and continue supporting opportunities for women in engineering and the built environment.
Let us show our support and appreciation by wearing the International Women’s Day colours - purple, green, or white
Thank you to all the women who inspire, lead, and make our work better every day, forever.
