Founded in 2017 by Alden Jacobson, a licensed professional engineer with nearly two decades of experience, AJ D&D was built to challenge the notion that exceptional engineering must carry a high price tag. Recognizing a clear need in the Kitchener-Waterloo Region for more personalized, cost-effective support, Alden established a firm centered on practical solutions and genuine client service.
This ethos is captured in an early Kitchener project. A growing young family, intent on opening up their basement to expand their living space, reached out after frustrating attempts to find clear, budget-friendly advice elsewhere. Alden didn't just assess the immediate problem; he invested considerable time walking them through their home, explaining structural dynamics in everyday language. He clearly outlined their options, ensuring they understood the quality and inherent value of each proposed investment.
The couple deeply valued feeling heard and receiving expert guidance that prioritized both effective design and affordability. This positive experience, and their subsequent referrals, crystallized a core principle: clients appreciate expert engineering delivered with transparency, respect, and a commitment to genuine value.
Today, AJ D&D has expanded its services across Ontario, offering structural and civil engineering, alongside land surveying. By maintaining a lean, efficient, and client-focused approach, the firm continues to deliver professional, high-standard work at sensible prices.
