Frequently Asked Questions
What is an RBQ 1.3 license and why is it important?
An RBQ 1.3 licence designates a general contractor authorized to carry out work on all types of commercial, industrial and public buildings. It allows us to manage your projects from start to finish with a single team in charge, which simplifies coordination and reduces lead times.
What is the difference between design-build and the traditional approach?
The traditional method involves hiring a contractor solely to execute pre-designed plans. Design-build entrusts both the design AND the construction to a single company. You have a single point of contact responsible for everything, which reduces coordination errors and costs.
Why use BIM for my project?
BIM identifies technical issues and conflicts between disciplines before work begins. This digital coordination prevents costly errors, delays and unforeseen changes on site. It is particularly useful for complex projects involving multiple trades.
How long does a typical commercial plumbing project take?
Timelines vary depending on complexity. A small commercial system takes a few weeks, whilst a complex project involving BIM coordination may take several months. Contact us with the details of your project to get a realistic estimate.
Who handles the necessary building permits?
Our multiple RBQ licences enable us to manage all regulatory procedures. We handle coordination with the Régie du bâtiment du Québec and local authorities to ensure your installations are fully compliant.
What makes data centre projects so specialized?
Data centres cannot tolerate any downtime. They require fully redundant systems, ultra-precise temperature and humidity controls, and rigorous coordination. Every detail counts to maintain 24/7 operational reliability.
How should I prepare my business before work begins?
Obtain your internal approvals and confirm your budget. Identify operational constraints (acceptable times for noisy work, restricted access). If available, prepare plans of your current facilities. During our meeting, we will assess all technical and logistical aspects together.
Which areas do you serve?
We serve Greater Montreal and regions within a 90-minute radius: the North Shore, Laval, downtown and Pointe-Claire. For large-scale projects located elsewhere, please contact us to discuss the possibilities.
