Founded in 1951 by Herman Walter and Bill Roberts in Kitchener, the firm began as a mechanical and electrical engineering practice.
Over the decades it added structural, civil, architecture and construction management services, evolving into a full‑service integrated design firm.
Now operating from multiple Canadian offices—including Kitchener, Hamilton, Toronto and Calgary—it tackles projects across sectors and geographies.
Typical commissions range from commercial and institutional buildings to complex engineering infrastructure and energy‑focused initiatives.
The firm has absorbed other practices—such as acquiring Riddell Kurczaba in 2024—broadening its expertise and national reach.
Known for blending creative architecture with technical engineering, WalterFedy stands out for 3D visualization and end‑to‑end delivery.
Unusual for its size, it spans an impressive range of services—from investigative engineering to industrial safety and commissioning.
While rooted in traditional design, it actively advances energy and carbon solutions, reflecting a forward‑looking approach to building performance.
