LMDG Building Code Consultants Ltd. was founded in 1988 as Locke MacKinnon Domingo Gibson Ltd. in Vancouver, BC. The company began with four professionals with the common vision of providing quality fire protection and life safety building code consulting on projects across Canada. The company has grown over the years and three of the founding principals have since retired, but with over two decades of consulting experience, LMDG has established a solid reputation built on the integrity and dedication of its principals, both past and present. With two offices in Canada, the company continues to grow with its current leadership team and looks forward to sharing its values and vision with their clients, both present and future.

The diverse background and expertise of our staff significantly contributes to the success of building and development projects. As a member of your team, LMDG’s professional staff will enhance your project by providing input on compliance with prescriptive requirements and by developing alternative solutions that suit your unique approach – whether it’s for an individual design feature or an entire building concept.
