ASPECT is part of the team behind the Modular Timber Housing system, led by Perkins&Wil, an initiative dedicated to advancing modular and mass timber housing solutions across Canada. In this piece, Woodworking Network breaks down the research findings and the potential impacts of integrating modular planning, off-site manufacturing, and mass timber construction.

What happens when you combine timber, battery storage, hydropower, and a healthy dose of engineering problem-solving? A pretty kick a$$ project, as it turns out.

At ASPECT, we spend a lot of time in the space between design intent and real-world constraints, helping our clients figure out how to move a project forward without compromising what matters. It’s also something we look for in the people we bring into the business.

On August 25th, 2026 ASPECT’s CEO Adam Gerber was featured in an article on Canadian Consulting Engineer where the publication provided a recap of a panel event hosted by the publication to explore sustainable infrastructure and its impact on AI data centres.

Ask anyone who's worked with Adam what sets him apart, and you'll probably hear a different answer every time. Some will talk about his curiosity. Others, his ability to simplify complex challenges or his relentless pursuit of better solutions. Many will mention the questions he asks. The ones that challenge assumptions, spark new ideas, and ultimately make projects stronger.

We sat down with Founding Principal, Bernhard Gafner and Associate Engineer, Thomas Brotschi to talk about ASPECT’s role within the global CREE Network, the nature of systemized innovation, and how repeatable design can still leave room for creativity.

Every year, the Canadian Wood Council recognizes excellence in wood design and construction with the presentation of the Wood Design and Building Awards. This year, four projects involving ASPECT were recognized, including: Adams Lake Health & Wellness Centre, Kin Park Pavilion and Ice Rink, Google Borregas, and 1120 Ossington.

ASPECT will be at Woodrise from September 22-25 and we’re hosting a couple of events of our own to complement the week-long congress! Here’s a quick recap of what we have going on...
