SMT Research Ltd. We provide analysis and monitoring solutions for clients engaged in building restoration, design, construction, and management.

Leaders in Leak Detection

We utilize near real-time sensor analysis and remote data collection to allow Engineers, Architects, Building Owners and Researchers to validate designs, materials, and methods, producing more efficient and durable buildings. Founded in 2006, SMT designs software and electronics used to monitor and evaluate the integrity and performance of commercial and residential building enclosures. We have expanded to include both low- and high-value building projects from around the world while fostering award-winning innovation and scientific excellence in both our product and service offerings. We are dedicated to innovation and creating new solutions for clients in the construction industry. We embrace the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) for construction development. Near real-time sensor analysis and remote data collection have allowed engineers and researchers to validate designs, materials, and methods to produce more efficient and durable buildings. With our innovative solutions, clients are able to reduce their environmental impact and long-term costs, while improving quality assurance throughout the construction and/or restoration process.

POV: You're tagging along for an SMT site visit. 👷‍♀️🏗️

Good views, great company, and a little behind-the-scenes look at what we've been up to!

Moisture management is bigger than the membrane.

A building envelope is an integrated system—and understanding it means looking beyond any single layer or technology.

From verifying membrane integrity with DigiScan during construction and before it’s concealed beneath overburden, to tracking assembly conditions 24/7 over the long term with FutureCast and SMT Analytics, the right data matters at every stage of the building’s lifecycle.

The membrane matters. But it’s only one part of the system.

Stop crossing your fingers. Start managing your moisture.

It’s been almost 25 years since the Durability of Building Materials and Components conference was last held in Canada, and SMT couldn’t be more excited to welcome the 17th International Conference on the Durability of Building Materials and Components to Montreal this July! 🍁

Hosted by Concordia University and the National Research Council Canada / Conseil national de recherches Canada, DBMC 2026 will bring together top minds to tackle the evolving challenges of climate resilience, decarbonization, and building longevity.

At SMT, we believe that true durability starts with quality assurance and near real-time data. Our mission is to provide architects and engineers with the exact toolsets and automated systems they need to eliminate guesswork and protect the building envelope. From the initial stages of construction sequencing to decades down the line, we help you validate material performance and prevent costly, unsustainable roof repairs.

Planning to attend? We’d love to connect, exchange knowledge, and discuss your upcoming projects.

Behind every successful building envelope monitoring strategy is a skilled team executing precision work in the field.

From deploying our low-voltage DigiScan tool to ensure quality assurance on exposed inverted roof membranes, to installing our continuous, automated FutureCast Inverted and Conventional systems, our technicians are the vital link between structural data and actionable insights on the SMT Analytics platform.

Their work allows engineers, architects, and building owners to confidently validate materials, track building health, and ultimately reduce environmental impacts by eliminating unnecessary roof repairs.

We’re incredibly grateful to our field teams for the care, expertise, attention to detail, and dedication they bring to every site. Their hard work plays a vital role in helping create stronger, more resilient buildings, and we couldn't do it without them. Thank you for the professionalism, commitment, and pride you bring to your work every day.

True building resilience means keeping an eye on your structure's health 24/7/365. SMT’s on-site data enclosures work tirelessly in the background, bridging the gap between physical sensor grids—like our FutureCast and TimberCast lines—and our cloud-based software, SMT Analytics.

For engineers and building owners, this means zero guesswork. From any laptop, anywhere in the world, you can log into the SMT portal to view real-time data, track trends, and instantly generate comprehensive building health reports.

Discover how we’re shrinking environmental impacts by preventing unnecessary roof replacements and catching issues before they become catastrophes.

Terraces, green spaces, and premium views. Tesoro by has it all—including smart structural protection from the ground up. 🏢⚡

Before these beautiful outdoor amenities and roof assemblies were completed, SMT's electronic testing solutions were on the job, locating hidden vulnerabilities caused by busy construction sequencing.

Now, with our advanced sensor analytics working behind the scenes, the building's performance is continuously validated, and owners can check in on their structural health report from any laptop, anywhere.

Because a design this beautiful deserves engineering protection to match.

We had a busy week attending the Architectural Institute of British Columbia Conference and the IIBEC Western Canada Chapter's Spring Seminar.

As much as these conferences are essential for professional development, staying on top of building science trends, and showcasing new technology, this past week reminded us that they are also about community.

Getting to step out from behind our screens to catch up with long-time partners, meet new faces, share a few laughs and strengthen meaningful connections is what truly drives our industry forward. Swipe through to see a mix of great conversations, fantastic industry peers, and the SMT crew proving we take building envelope health seriously, but ourselves? Not so much. 🍿😅

What’s been your biggest takeaway from this year’s conversations and connections at similar events?

We are back in the office after an incredible weekend of education with building enclosure specialists at the IIBEC2026 Spring Seminar in Vancouver! 🏛️✨

IIBEC always delivers premier educational sessions, and hearing Graham Finch of break down Best Practices for Mass Timber Roof Design and Construction was a highlight.

A huge shoutout to the IIBEC team for putting together an amazing event, the speakers for delivering informative presentations, and everyone who attended, connected, and shared their perspectives throughout the day. Already looking forward to the next IIBEC event! 🙌

Oakridge Park is officially OPEN to the public!

From a complex $2B construction site to a stunning, living urban hub, watching this Vancouver icon come to life has been an incredible journey.

Over the course of the Oakridge development, our team has been on-site installing our fully automated leak detection systems. Since the roof deck is covered in heavy overburden—such as an urban forest, community gardens, and running loops—finding a leak after construction is finished using traditional methods would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

With our system on guard 24/7 for the lifetime of the building, the property managers will know exactly if and where a membrane breach occurs before it ever disrupts the residents or shoppers below.

Engineers and owners can easily check the building’s structural health report via our SMT Analytics cloud portal anytime, anywhere.

Congratulations to everyone involved in creating this masterpiece. We’ve got your back (and your roof) covered!

We are excited to announce that SMT will be attending the Architectural Institute of British Columbia as an official exhibitor at the Vancouver Convention Centre West!

Centred around this year's theme of People, Place, Possibility—the conference brings together critical conversations about how architectural practice can actively respond to evolving communities, environments, and future challenges. It’s a discussion we are incredibly proud to support.

At SMT, we believe that turning future possibilities into durable realities requires actionable data. We look forward to connecting with fellow architects, engineers, and innovators to discuss how near-real-time sensor analysis validates designs and protects the built environment.

Stop by the SMT booth (Booth #9) throughout the event to meet our team and learn more about our building health solution sets. We can’t wait to reconnect with industry colleagues and partners in Vancouver!
