Structural design and engineering with principal involvement on every project.

Led by Leonard Kalishenko, P.Eng., with more than 35 years of experience and over 2000 projects — licensed across Ontario, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Manitoba.

The practice

Leonard Kalishenko and Associates is a structural consulting practice built around principal involvement, clear documentation, and practical delivery. For more than three decades, the firm has supported owners, architects, and builders on multi-storey residential, commercial, institutional, industrial, and renovation projects — with a home base in Toronto and work that extends across Ontario and into other Canadian jurisdictions where Leonard is licensed.

The practice treats structure as part of project strategy, not a late package bolted onto architectural massing. Early grid studies, foundation choices, and lateral systems are coordinated with program, mechanical shafts, and construction sequencing so drawings stay buildable. On occupied renovations and public-sector work, investigation, temporary works, and phased delivery receive the same attention as new framing.

Ontario’s climate shapes how details are written: snow and wind on roofs and towers, freeze-thaw at slabs and canopies, and durable interfaces where structure meets cladding. Clients engage the firm for engineer-of-record services, design-build structural support, peer review, and assessment-led strengthening — always with a named principal accountable for the advice.

Leonard Kalishenko, P.Eng.

Leonard Kalishenko, P.Eng.

Principal

Leonard Kalishenko, P.Eng., has overseen more than 2000 projects and brings more than 35 years of consulting and structural design experience to every engagement. He is a member of the Professional Engineering Associations of Ontario, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Manitoba, and remains personally involved as principal from early concepts through construction.

His practice spans multi-storey residential, commercial, institutional, industrial, and renovation work across Ontario and beyond. Clients and builders value a clear load path, practical detailing, and decisive responses when field conditions diverge from the drawings. Leonard’s approach emphasizes early coordination with architects and contractors so structural decisions support schedule and constructability rather than arriving as late constraints.

As the firm’s principal, he sets technical standards for analysis, documentation, and site review, and stays accountable for the quality of advice delivered under the Leonard Kalishenko and Associates name.

Michael Chen

Michael Chen

Senior Structural Technologist

Michael Chen supports structural documentation and detailing for multi-storey and commercial assignments across the Greater Toronto Area and neighbouring Ontario markets. He translates design intent into coordinated drawings, connection details, and clear markups that builders can build from — with particular attention to constructability, steel and concrete interfaces, and consistency across drawing sets.

On a typical file, Michael tracks openings, transfers, and equipment pads through design development, flags conflicts before they become RFIs, and helps keep the structural package aligned with architectural revisions. He works closely with principals and project engineers during shop drawing review so comments stay actionable and prioritized for the field.

Priya Sharma

Priya Sharma

Project Engineer

Priya Sharma coordinates analysis and design packages for institutional and renovation assignments, from early structural concepts through construction review under principal oversight. Her work often includes assessment of existing framing, strengthening options, and documentation suitable for tender and phased occupancy on occupied sites.

She collaborates with architects, mechanical engineers, and contractors to resolve shaft locations, vibration-sensitive floors, and durability details that matter in Ontario’s climate. On new institutional work, she focuses on clear spans for assembly or teaching spaces and durable systems that match long public-sector life cycles.
