four decades of experience
Technical Building Consultancy in Central Alberta
1838 ProjectX provides architectural production support, permit coordination, and technical building consultancy across Alberta. We strengthen project leaders with documentation that is technically rigorous, constructable, and strategically aligned with regulatory requirements. Drafting is not a standalone offering here — it forms part of a broader technical consultancy framework built around how projects are actually delivered in the field.
Who’s 1838 Project X?
Led by Four Decades of Field-Informed Experience
Murray Lawrence — Director and Principal Consultant — is a licensed commercial builder with nearly four decades of architectural and field experience. That combination is rare, and it makes a meaningful difference to every engagement.
Murray Lawrence — Founder & Operator, 1838 Project X
Murray has delivered retail tenant improvement projects in Central Alberta, providing direct construction experience that sharpens his approach to technical consulting. His work sits at the intersection of design and construction execution, which means documentation is developed with sequencing, regulatory compliance, and multi-disciplinary coordination already built in.
Rely on us!
1838 ProjectX operates as a technical extension of architectural studios and as a disciplined documentation partner to developers, contractors, and property owners. Construction delivery remains secondary to consulting — but that firsthand experience materially strengthens every service offered.
