After graduating from McMaster University with a degree in engineering, Dave Tipler joined the firm and has never looked back. Dave spent a year on site from 1988 to 1989 at One Toronto Street reviewing the structural construction of a 15-storey office tower and a 17 storey residential building with 3 levels of underground parking. The cost of construction was estimated at about 40 million dollars.

After returning to the office he integrated the knowledge gained at site into his structural designs. In addition, he developed computer design programs and computer programs for structural drafting that can still be considered to be state of the art today. He has designed 'big box' buildings, university buildings in the Middle East, and shopping centres throughout Canada. He developed the Canadian prototypical structural drawings for Wal-Mart stores currently being constructed across the country.
