Behind the Scenes with Andrew Dudka: Work-Life Balance and Engineering Mastery

At Criterium-Dudka Engineers, President Andrew Dudka’s leadership style is driven by a clear focus on both technical excellence and a supportive work culture. Featured in Blueprint  Magazine, Andrew highlights the importance of maintaining a healthy work-life balance for his employees, which has fostered low turnover and high team morale since he took ownership in 2017.

Andrew and his team apply their expertise to complex projects, such as the Windslowe’s View condominium facade replacement. This $16.5 million project required careful coordination between the building association, contractors, and residents. By leveraging CAD drawings and detailed project manuals, Criterium-Dudka guided the condo board in selecting the right contractor and ensuring high-quality work throughout the two-year renovation.

The company’s attention to detail extends to weekly inspections and meetings, ensuring all construction work meets strict specifications and high workmanship standards. Similar practices were applied to the Fairfield Apartments project, where Andrew’s team inspected tall building exteriors and worked closely with subcontractors to ensure compliance.

Andrew’s extensive background in mechanical engineering and business management, along with his hands-on approach, have allowed Criterium-Dudka Engineers to provide consistent, high-level service. His commitment to continued education keeps the firm at the forefront of building science developments, ensuring clients receive the best possible outcomes.
