Perpetual Building Engineering to ensure sustainable whole building solutions.

We design innovative building engineering solutions that enhance sustainable, healthy and inspirational environments—tailored to meet your unique needs.

our service model

rybka Incorporated forms a project team more like the structure of a molecule rather than a hierarchy pyramid. Our structure encourages open communication between all team members. We strive to ensure all team members have a voice. Each team member is also assigned very specific roles and responsibilities within the molecular structure.

Oxford dictionary defines a molecule as…

“a group of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound that can take part in a chemical reaction.” 

Our team of atoms is arranged to suit our client and project requirements. Our team bonds together through passion, dedication and personal commitment. Together we form a team which integrates and bonds with all stakeholders to fulfill the project vision.

our leadership

Chairman and CEO, Richard Armstrong, Kt., P.Eng., B.A.Sc., has dedicated over 35 years to Building Consulting Engineering. As a second-generation leader in the industry, Richard has worked on a broad range of projects across multiple sectors, geographic regions, and delivery models.

Richard’s experience spans both the private and public sectors, covering industries from healthcare to hospitality. His projects extend across the globe, including Canada, the UK, the USA, the Caribbean, the Middle East, Europe, and Asia. Notably, he was a founding stakeholder in the establishment of Infrastructure Ontario and played a key role in developing Ontario’s first Generic Output Specifications (GOS) for healthcare (MOHLTC) through the Program Management assignment at MMM Group. This work became the foundation for major procurement initiatives in Ontario.

Richard began his career in 1986 with Rybka, Smith and Ginsler Ltd., working his way up from summer jobs to becoming a Partner in 1997, Vice President in 2001, and President in 2007. Following the company’s merger with Marshall Macklin Monaghan (MMM Group)—now part of WSP—Richard transitioned into corporate development in 2009. In 2012, he joined MCW Consulting Engineers, where he successfully led new projects and teams. In 2021, Richard re-established Rybka Incorporated as a fresh, forward-thinking Building Engineering company.

Richard champions Rybka’s core mission: improving people’s lives by creating loving, healthy, and inspiring environments.
