Fred Ouellette

Fred brings with him a robust structural engineering background, his portfolio of work having grown to include many diverse low, mid, and high-rise condominium projects across the GTA through all stages to completion. Fred’s capabilities include an in-depth working knowledge for a project’s structural development and construction. Attributes include strong collaborative and communication skills, and a fundamental understanding of how projects of any scale are run successfully at all stages to completion. Artificial intelligence is transforming conversations about design, but for many building projects, the real opportunity lies in optimization, using smart engineering to create structures that are leaner, more efficient, and more sustainable. This session explores how structural engineers apply optimization methods to achieve tangible project savings without relying on AI. Through a case study of a large building site, the session demonstrates how refining the thickness and reinforceme
