What you can expect from EastPoint
Here’s what you’ll find at the heart of our approach—values that drive our decision-making and shape our commitments.
Accessible Design
We work on making places enjoyable to use for everyone, considering different ways people move, think, sense, and interact socially and culturally. Our aim is to create places where everyone feels comfortable, recognizing the diversity of ways in which people experience the world. We incorporate established standards like CSA B651-23 along with National and Local Building Codes, ensuring our designs accommodate diverse needs. Guidance from organizations including the Rick Hansen Foundation aids us in creating universally accessible and inclusive places.
Applied Technology
Who’s afraid of tech? Not us! Recognizing the emerging opportunities in our industry, we have grown our service offering in sustainable design, investing in applied technology to lead the way in building information modeling. We own several 3D Lidar scanners, drones, Hololens, and Virtual Reality headsets, allowing us to create precise models for commercial and industrial buildings and infrastructure, and to complete virtual site visits. With over six years of Lidar scanning and a decade of 3D modeling experience, our 300+ scans across diverse structures highlight our commitment to using technology for accurate, detailed models.
Client Collaboration
At EastPoint, we see collaboration not just as a way of doing business, but as the foundation of our approach. It’s about partnering with you, listening actively, and joining forces to create solutions that truly fit your needs. Your input drives our innovation, helping us navigate challenges and celebrate successes together. We’re in this together for shared achievements.
Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
Diversity, equity, and inclusion are more than simply words to us: we embody these values because we know our organization is better for it. Diversity makes us more innovative, adaptable, and responsive to the needs of our clients and our community. By fostering a diverse and inclusive environment, we cultivate a broader range of perspectives and ideas. This allows us to create more comprehensive solutions that better address our clients’ diverse needs.
Sustainability by Example
More than simply the projects we undertake, our commitment to sustainability is woven into the fabric of our organization—shaping our decisions, guiding our actions, and defining how we contribute to a sustainable future. We are dedicated to minimizing our environmental impact in our business operations. This includes a focus on incorporating sustainable industry standards, reducing energy and water consumption, actively managing waste, and promoting the use of low/zero carbon options when executing our projects. We strive to lead by example so we can better guide and inspire our clients toward environmentally responsible solutions.
Truth and Reconciliation
Our collaboration with Indigenous Peoples focuses on fostering economic integration and empowerment. Through sustained engagement built on trust and respect, we actively seek opportunities for meaningful partnerships. Understanding that economic prosperity plays a key role in reconciliation, we strive to partner with Indigenous-owned businesses when pursuing work, and seek out opportunities to involve Indigenous businesses in the project procurement process. Recognizing the limits of our knowledge, we endeavor to embed community members in our team where opportunity presents. In doing so, our designs become more attuned with community wants and needs, and capacity is built within the community for future projects.
Workplace Safety
We prioritize a culture of safety through training, audits, and proactive hazard identification and mitigation, aligning with industry standards and regulations. Safety briefings, standard documentation, monthly all-staff health and safety meetings, equipment maintenance, and ongoing training reinforce our dedication to accident prevention and workplace safety. Integrating wellness initiatives into our health and safety program promotes healthier habits and greater safety engagement. Empowering each team member with safety knowledge, we cultivate an open, communicative, and secure work atmosphere.
We build relationships that stand the test of time
We think of our work not as a series of projects—but rather as contributions to long-standing, durable relationships that strengthen over time.
Our vision is to be the most trusted design partner for our clients, and our mandate is to work for great clients. This means we take the time to understand how the project at hand fits within a broader context and overall client objectives.
As an employee-owned company, our reputation is our livelihood. Our clients can expect responsiveness, access to leadership, care to understand and respond to challenges and opportunities, and technical competency. Overcoming challenges and celebrating successes together is the hallmark of what we define as a great client relationship.
Great solutions start through conversations.
