Residential construction
Complete renovation, extension or added storey: we carry out your residential project from planning to handover, with a single point of contact.
We work for families and homeowners in Montreal, Laval, the South Shore and the North Shore. Every project starts from your needs, your budget and your timeline, and continues with a written quote that states what is included and what is not.
I
Renovating a room, finishing a basement or adding a storey: here are the projects we do most often.
Full or partial modernization: demolition, plumbing and electrical entrusted to qualified master tradespeople, cabinets, countertops and finishes. The steps are planned to reduce the time you spend without a kitchen.
Rebuilding the shower, the bath and the wall and floor coverings, with special attention to waterproofing behind the tile and to room ventilation.
A basement turned into complete living space: insulation, partitions, ceilings, floors and finishes. We first check for moisture and the condition of the foundation, so we do not hide a problem behind the drywall.
Siding, doors, windows and facades: we redo your home's envelope so it protects better against water and cold.
A side or rear extension, an attached garage: the engineer checks the existing foundation and structure, then we build the extension, from excavation to interior finishes.
Gain a full storey without changing neighbourhoods. A structural engineer assesses the existing structure and designs the required reinforcement; we then coordinate the framing, roofing, envelope and finishes.
High-performance insulation, airtightness and the right windows: choices made at the planning stage to lower your heating and cooling costs over the long term.
II
The scope of the project determines the studies, the permits and how long the work takes. Here are the three main scenarios.
Kitchen, bathroom or basement: the work stays inside the house. Depending on the municipality, a permit may be required; the work is generally measured in weeks.
An extension changes the building's footprint: siting, setbacks and zoning are checked, and the foundation of the new section is designed for the soil.
The existing structure and foundation must carry the new load: a structural engineer's opinion is essential, and it is often better to move out during certain phases.
III
A written process, from the first meeting to handover.
IV
A general contractor that takes responsibility for the whole project.
Municipal permits are generally applied for by the owner, in coordination with us; their fees are not included in our quotes.

A few useful terms before planning a major renovation or an extension.

We renovate and extend houses and plexes in Montreal, on the North Shore, including Laval, and on the South Shore.
VI
Yes for an extension or an added storey, and often for a major renovation. Each municipality (Montreal and its boroughs, Laval, Longueuil, etc.) has its own rules: maximum height, setbacks, zoning. We coordinate the application with you and provide the technical documents required.
Every RBQ licence comes with a security bond. For a general contractor, it is $40,000 and can compensate a client for a deposit paid on work that was not done, work that was not finished or defects found within 12 months after the work was completed. To make a claim, the contract must show the company's name and licence number. New homes fall instead under the Guarantee Plan for New Residential Buildings. Source: Régie du bâtiment du Québec.
As a guide, a kitchen or bathroom renovation generally takes 4 to 8 weeks, and an extension or added storey 4 to 6 months, including design and permits. The exact schedule for your project is set out in the quote.
An extension lets you keep your neighbourhood, your children's school and your neighbours, avoid the costs of a new real estate transaction and get a space designed for your family.
For a kitchen renovation, yes, with a few temporary arrangements. For an added storey, it is often better to move out during certain phases: demolition, roofing, electrical.
The cost depends on the floor area, the materials chosen and the condition of the existing structure. Our prices are based on the current wage rates of the Commission de la construction du Québec (CCQ), set by the collective agreements for the sector concerned (residential, institutional and commercial, industrial), plus the materials and equipment specific to each job. Every quote is free, detailed and prepared after a site visit.
Yes. An extension or an added storey requires a permit from the borough in Montreal, or from the municipality on the North Shore and South Shore, and often signed plans. Zoning rules, such as the permitted height and footprint, vary from one area to another: check them before having plans drawn.
