BIM PxP / CanBIM
Since the early 2000s, Building Information Modeling (BIM) has been integral to KIRKOR’s approach in addressing diverse project needs. BIM consistently enhances our methodologies and communication with clients and consultants, enabling us to deliver services with the highest level of digital coordination. Our Director of Digital Practice and  BIM experts keep KIRKOR at the leading edge of technological advancements in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. We have been active members of Building Transformations (formerly the Canada BIM Council or CanBIM) since 2018 and have earned the CanBIM Company Certification to equip our team with the highest quality of certified expertise.

Sustainability
We strive to improve environmental and social impacts through our work, offering clients practical and innovative solutions to champion sustainability together. KIRKOR is thoroughly versed in meeting environmental code requirements, municipal standards and guidelines, and various ecological measures. Our network of energy and sustainability consultants ensures we fully explore each project’s potential to optimize energy efficiency, incorporate renewable energy sources and materials, and minimize pollution during construction. Meanwhile, our Director of Sustainability is advancing KIRKOR’s commitment to sustainability, intently focused on the research and development of strategies on reducing embodied carbon emissions, exploring innovative wood construction, and implementing regenerative design to incorporate biophilia in underutilized spaces.

Inclusive Design
Inclusive design (I-D) is a cornerstone of our quality assurance at KIRKOR, which prioritizes accessibility as a core principle. We view I-D as more than regulatory compliance; we aim to create welcoming spaces usable by everyone. By incorporating accessible features and adaptive technologies, we design navigable and functional projects that accommodate individuals with diverse needs. Our Rick Hansen Foundation Accessibility Certified team members, together with like-minded clients, steer us in the creation of equitable communities that enhance the user experience from a technical standpoint, and foster the awareness necessary to understand individual barriers.
