|  |  Commercial/Office Design Philosophy The design and detailing of commercial structures has become increasingly more challenging to achieve the open spaces and flexibility required of today's demanding market. The structural design must not only rise to meet these challenges, but must achieve it in combination of producing a cost effective design within the confines of the product budget. The development of innovative, cost effective solutions to incorporate long structural spans, enhanced structural performance, and integrated functional requirements has become common place in today's designs of commercial space. Optimization of the structural design in terms of performance and economics is of paramount importance to the project. Design optimization would include material minimization, consideration of local trade and transportation capabilities and local construction techniques. The professional and technical staff at TRL & Associates Ltd. has provided structural design services on many projects throughout western Canada.
