WE ARE

Designcore Engineering Ltd. is a single discipline consulting company that deals specifically with Electrical Engineering. Founded in 2006, the four principals of Designcore, Brian Calverley P. Eng., Heath Weenk, Martin Wal, P.Eng. and Eric Chomistek, P.Eng. have combined experiences in the electrical industry in excess of 65 years. With our emphasis only on certain areas of electrical engineering, we believe strongly in the phrase “We are not trying to be everything to everyone” and hereby bring a talented team of individuals with expertise in our area of design.

Designcore brings a level of innovation to every project that is truly unparalleled in the industry. Our team is widely recognized for a "thinking outside the box" mindset, consistently approaching each challenge with creativity and technical excellence. At Designcore, we believe that no project should ever be designed using a cookie-cutter approach. Instead, we take pride in tailoring unique, forward-thinking solutions that align with each client’s goals. When faced with complex problems that appear to have no easy answers, we dive deep, exploring all potential avenues until we find the best path forward. This commitment to ingenuity and problem-solving is what sets us apart.

At Designcore, we firmly believe that clients receive the best of both worlds when they choose to work with us. As a company, we are intentionally structured to remain small enough to provide a personalized experience for every client. We take the time to understand each project’s unique needs, ensuring careful attention to detail and a commitment to client satisfaction. At the same time, Designcore is a large enough firm to offer a full range of expertise, technical knowledge, and industry experience. Our team is equipped to handle complex projects of any size, delivering high-quality results on schedule and within budget—every time.
