Who We Are
Based in North Vancouver, ALTIN ENGINEERING is a multidisciplinary consultancy bridging the gap between architectural vision and structural reality. We provide a seamless, end-to-end service for developers and property owners—integrating architectural design, senior structural engineering, and in-house real estate expertise. From navigating complex city permits to designing resilient structures in wood, steel, and concrete, we ensure your project is technically sound, legally compliant, and financially optimized.
Our Journey
Our journey has been anything but ordinary. Through every step, we’ve focused on staying true to our values and making space for thoughtful, lasting work.
We were brought together by a shared passion for structural and civil engineering and a relentless commitment to building a community in accordance with safety, ethics, and code.
This isn’t just a business, it’s a reflection of what we believe in: creating work that matters, led by a shared commitment to quality and care.
Our Pillars
-
Safety First: We don’t just follow codes; we set them. Every design is triple-checked for structural resilience.
-
Integrity in Design: We believe in transparency. If a design isn’t cost-effective or safe, we tell you—no hidden agendas.
-
Community Impact: Our projects aren’t just buildings; they are the homes and businesses that hold our community together.
Mehdi (Altin) Yousefi PhD, P.Eng | Owner & CEO
With over 18 years of global experience, Mehdi is a specialist in the most complex corners of civil engineering: tunneling, seismic design, and soil-structure interaction. Holding a PhD in Civil Earthquake Engineering from the Vienna University of Technology, his background spans from massive hydropower projects and dams to industrial vibration design and nonlinear analysis. Having spent a decade at SNC-Lavalin, Mehdi brings 'big infrastructure' rigor to local property consultancy, ensuring every structure is built to withstand the unique seismic demands of the Pacific Northwest.
Mo Mirlohi, EIT | Lead Structural Designer
Bringing a unique perspective from the Vancouver Shipyards, Mo specializes in high-stakes structural engineering where there is zero margin for error. Having worked on some of Canada’s most significant marine projects—including the Joint Support Ships (JSS), the Offshore Fisheries Science Vessels (OFSV), and the Polar Icebreaker, Mo applies the same level of precision and maritime-grade structural integrity to land-based developments. This background in complex, heavy-duty structural construction ensures that our designs are not just compliant, but exceptionally resilient.
