To accommodate the building expansion, the surrounding vehicle parking areas were reconstructed and expanded. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout the application process, MGM navigated through the City of Kitchener&#8217;s unique and challenging stormwater management design and analysis requirements, which included meeting a strict stormwater balance target and using software modelling in analysing quantity controls and sewer capacity. Our project engineers successfully satisfied the stringent water balance criterion through a creative infiltration gallery strategy that enabled our client to avoid the City&#8217;s costly cash in lieu fees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MGM successfully delivered a practical and efficient site engineering and stormwater management system supported by software analysis, which ensured the satisfaction of governing agencies. Our dedicated team effecively managed the application process and reviewed construction works to ensure timely approvals and conformance to the approved plans. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-center is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size\">&#8220;Kingsland+ Architects Inc. have worked with MGM Consulting Inc. for over 15 years.
