Project Counselling

Effective January 1st 2019, I have retired our project engineering design services from Indoor Climate Consultants Inc. as I wind down to spend more time with my fishing rod, skis and guitar.

However, every successful project I worked on started with a 1 to 2 hour project counselling session and that service is still available for a fee.
