BOCA OPENS NEW VANCOUVER OFFICE – Learn More
We develop comprehensive technical evaluation reports for building products and systems, supporting use by architects, structural engineers, regulatory authorities, and builders. Our reports clearly define applicable code provisions, provide detailed compliance analysis, and document key performance attributes including material properties, fire, structural and durability. Reports include pre-engineered solution tables, diagrams and models to support efficient use during design, plan review, and construction phases.
Working with a network of international laboratories, our expertise is in testing systems for Structural Loading, Wind Pressure, Dynamic Wind-Rain, Fire-Resistance, Seismic, Hurricane and Wild-Fire exposure. BOCA provides end-to-end support for obtaining third-party product certifications and regulatory approvals, helping clients efficiently navigate complex approval pathways across North America. Our services include:
We focus on minimizing time to market by aligning testing, engineering, and documentation into a coordinated certification strategy.
We provide consulting for fire performance evaluation of building materials and assemblies, integrating fire engineering principles with full-scale and bench-scale testing.
Our capabilities include:
By bridging testing, analysis, and code requirements, we help clients develop defensible solutions for increasingly complex fire performance challenges.
With professional engineering licenses across numerous Canadian and US jurisdictions, our reach extends across the continent.
BOCA evaluation reports address compliance with a wide range of North American codes, including:
We offer four tiers of renewable evaluation reports to align with performance scope, regulatory needs, and market objectives:
Comprehensive evaluation demonstrating compliance and design solutions of a product or system with all applicable provisions of a specified building code.
Focused evaluation addressing compliance and design solutions with a specific application or performance requirement within a building code (e.g., wind load, seismic, fire classifications, etc.).
Evaluation of a product’s compliance with a specific standard as referenced within a building code, without full code analysis.
Verification of compliance with a specific standard, without direct assessment against building code requirements.
Renewable reports are kept current with annual updates and republication, always sealed with a professional engineer’s stamp and make clear statements of compliance.
BOCA evaluation reports support the professional design process of any building construction and are prepared ready for permit documentation submittals.
Structural design of residential, commercial, industrial and institutional buildings. New Construction, renovations, primary structure and components.
Assessment reports and structural repairs design for buildings and other structures damaged by fire, wind, water, and impacts.
Structural design and testing of special (non-building) structures including bridges, retaining walls, free standing equipment, and government infrastructure.
