Marc Guilmette
Principal | Project Manager
After 15 years with our team, Marc assumes the role of Project Manager on most of our large scale projects. He is well-versed in building technology and his ability to manage complex information while coordinating many staff and consultants keeps our projects running smoothly. Marc is fluently bilingual, and is a dedicated minor hockey coach and a goalie who’s yet to acknowledge that flexibility diminishes with age.
Sandra Northrup
Administrative Assistant
Sandra is our admin support extraordinaire! She handles everything from phone calls to construction contract documentation, with a high degree of proficiency and pleasantness. If you call our office, it‘s no doubt you’ll be greeted by Sandra’s friendly voice. Sandra supports all that we do and helps keep us in line as well. She also plans some raucous office parties and is a busy (and proud) mom.
Nathan Jensen
President | Principal Architect
Since joining the firm nearly a decade ago, Nathan has played a leading role in project development in the office, and is valued by his clients for his thoughtful, responsible, and creative design solutions. Nathan has never met a design problem he didn‘t want to solve, and this quality has proven valuable for many clients. After work he likes to dogsled and make maple syrup in his backyard.... And say ’eh’ a lot!
Andrew Bruce-Payne
Director of Compliance and Sustainability | Architect
Andrew has been a member of our team for over 15 years, and has distinguished himself as a great project manager and our building code, sustainability, and accessibility expert. His extensive code knowledge and attention to detail are assets valued by clients and colleagues. Andrew is always of good spirit, yet focused and he has a memory like no other, so don’t challenge him to Trivial Pursuit.
John Weinhardt

With 30 years of experience, John is our building technology expert. He is recognized by clients, contractors, and building officials for his depth of knowledge and proficiency in carrying out complicated renovation projects, and has served the Near North District School Board for more than 15 years.

Brandon Deevey
Technician
Brandon is a CAD powerhouse. His attention to detail and methodical approach make him a valuable member of every project team. He contributes to a wide variety of projects in our office, from small renovations to large institutional buildings. Brandon‘s wit is as sharp as a tack. If he was a standup comedian, we’d love to be in the front row.
Jean Audette
Principal | Project Manager
Jean has over 20 years of experience in North Bay and Sudbury, and is responsible for the majority of the commercial projects in our office.
