Structek Consulting
A GTA structural practice running sealed reviews on Fermito.
Structek Consulting is a structural engineering firm in the Greater Toronto Area producing sealed Site Review Reports (also written FRR or Field Review Report) and short-form sealed opinion letters across five years of output. This page describes the firm, the corpus Fermito is calibrated against, and the rollout in progress.

Five years of Structek's structural engineering output, 2022 through 2026. The full historical corpus Fermito's prompt pack, glossary, and fact-check rules are calibrated against.
Most recent full-year project volume. Concurrent site reviews, sealed opinion letters, and structural design work across the Greater Toronto Area.
2022 through 2026. Site Review Reports (also written FRR or Field Review Report) and short-form sealed opinion letters, calibrated across multi-year revisions in the firm's voice rather than a single-cycle snapshot.
The firm
Five years of sealed structural work, the corpus Fermito is calibrated against.
Everything on this page is grounded in Structek’s actual report output. The numbers below come from the firm’s project files, not a discovery call.
- Practice
- Structural engineering - parking garage, building envelope, and building structure
- Location
- Greater Toronto Area, Ontario
- Project volume
- 100+ active projects per year across the firm
- Documents produced
- Site Review Reports (also written FRR or Field Review Report) and short-form sealed opinion letters
- Review cadence
- 1–3 site visits per project per week during active phases
- Signers
- Principal engineer signs every sealed document
The initial rollout scope
What the first rollout wave covers.
The four categories below describe the initial Fermito rollout at Structek: Site Review Reports (also written FRR or Field Review Report) across two active parking-garage repair programs. These are drawn from the firm's current project files, not the full corpus. Short-form sealed letters follow as the letter shape clears end-to-end generation for the firm.
01 · Concrete slab repair
Soffit chipping, rebar exposure, and overhead patching at P1 and P2 levels.
The first rollout category covers structural slab repair in underground parking garages: identifying delaminated concrete, confirming rebar condition after chipping, observing bonding agent and patch material application, and documenting the repair against the specification. A single project in this category produced 20 Site Review Reports (also written FRR or Field Review Report) across six months of active repair work.
20 reports · 6-month project cycle · Jan–Jun 2025
02 · Waterproofing removal and replacement
Membrane strip, surface preparation, and re-application at parking levels.
The second project tracks a full waterproofing lifecycle: removal of the existing failed membrane, surface preparation, and new system installation. Reports cover mobilization, waterproofing strip, concrete substrate condition, and contractor progress through each repair phase.
15 reports · 12-month project cycle · Jun 2024–2025
03 · Ramp heating and mastic
Heating cable installation, metal mesh, and mastic wear course at the garage ramp.
A subset of the first project covers specialized ramp work: heating cable spacing verified against shop drawings, metal mesh for adhesion support, and two-coat mastic application with texture finish. These reports demonstrate multi-visit observation chains where each report references the prior visit's open items.
Multi-visit chain · SRR #19–20 · cable + mastic sequence
04 · Photo-documented observations
Every observation tied to numbered, captioned site photographs.
Structek's reports carry 4–8 site photos per visit, each captioned and cross-referenced by number in the observation text. Photo subjects include delaminated concrete, exposed reinforcing steel, formwork, applied coatings, and completed repair areas. The photo-to-observation link is the evidentiary backbone of each report.

The rollout
How Fermito is deployed against this work.
The four blocks below describe the rollout as it is structured today: template ingestion, category selection, review workflow, and handoff. Each is a decision made against the real report output above, not a generic onboarding playbook.
01 · Template ingestion
Structek's house Word template is the source of truth.
Fermito ingested Structek's existing site review template first: the exact header layout, people table, observation numbering, photo caption style, and signature block visible across the SRRs on file. The generation prompt is tuned to reproduce that format, not a generic report schema. Sealed-letter templates follow as the letter shape clears end-to-end generation for the firm.
House DOCX · per-firm tuning · SRR-first ingestion
02 · Categories
Garage slab repair and waterproofing, first.
The rollout starts with two high-volume categories in Structek's current work: concrete repair and waterproofing. Both are documented extensively across the firm's recent project files, and prompt tuning is calibrated against real observation language from those files so the first generated draft reads like the firm wrote it. Short-form sealed letters follow as the letter shape clears end-to-end generation for the firm.
Volume-led rollout · tuned against real report language
03 · Review workflow
The principal reviews every draft before export.
Fermito generates a draft from the engineer's field notes. The principal reads every sentence, edits where needed, and explicitly signs off before the Word document exports. The attestation step - the moment the engineer takes ownership - is built into the product, not bolted on after.
Principal-in-loop · attestation modal · diff-tracked revisions
04 · Handoff
Fermito hands off, Structek seals.
Fermito does not try to own the seal-and-distribute step. Drafts export as Word documents into Structek's existing distribution workflow: property managers, contractors, and the project file receive the report through the same channels the firm already uses.
DOCX handoff · Structek seals · existing distribution untouched
05 · Expansion
From weekly site reviews to short-form sealed letters.
Beyond the parking-garage Site Review Reports (also written FRR or Field Review Report), Structek is expanding Fermito usage into short-form sealed opinion letters - the one-to-three-page PE responses to proposed load changes, shoring scopes, and coring judgments that arrive as a letter, not as a site visit. Same drafting loop; different structured form fields and a different output shape per doc.
Sealed letters · load / shoring / coring variants · letter-body output shape
What's being measured
Three things the published study will report on.
Measured outcomes land after a complete project cycle on the platform. Each of the three below is an open commitment, with a pre-measurement estimate as an indicative placeholder. Final measured numbers replace the placeholders as cycles complete. Anything the data does not support will be left out.
- 01Hours back to review
Placeholder~5 hrs / week / PE
The headline metric is not how fast a draft is written. It is how much of the freed time flows back into the part of the week only a licensed engineer can do. The published study will report the shape of that shift across a complete project cycle, not a percentage saving on a single report.
- 02Voice convergence
Placeholder~50% drop in editing volume by report 10
Every revision on a live report teaches the system a little more of Structek's observation language. The published study will report how much editing the tenth report needed compared to the first, in concrete diff terms, not a satisfaction score.
- 03Sealed-work fit
Placeholder~80% signed as-issued · 0 pulled pre-seal
Whether Fermito's template reproduction and observation framing held up against the standard the firm already set in the reports on file. Did the generated drafts match the observation style? Were any drafts pulled back before signing? The study reports the answer in writing.
Next step
A working demo runs against real report data, not slides.
The demo walks through template ingestion, a generated draft from a real field observation, the revise loop, and a Word export in the firm’s house format. Thirty minutes, structured around the firm’s own templates.
