Our process
Seven steps, a written quote that says what is included and what is not, and no extras without your written approval.
Bad surprises on a job site rarely come from the work itself. They come from a poorly defined scope, an exclusion that was never mentioned or an unexpected issue settled without discussion. At Construction AIM, every project follows the same process, whether it is a French drain under a plex, a commercial roof or interior systems as a subcontractor.
I
Whether it is a French drain under a plex, a commercial roof or interior systems as a subcontractor.
II
A free, detailed quote, prepared after the site visit.
No work is carried out before the quote is signed.
III
These documents can be attached to the quote, and their validity is confirmed before the work starts.
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.
IV
Some conditions only become visible once the job is opened up: a crack behind a covering, rotten wood decking under the roof, rock or waterlogged soil at the bottom of the excavation. These hidden conditions cannot be included in the quote. Here is what we do when they come up.
Estimated quantities are confirmed by an on-site survey, and any difference is explained to you before it is invoiced.
V
The same process applies everywhere we work: in Montreal, on the North Shore, including Laval, and on the South Shore. The Anjou office schedules visits by area.
VI
Yes. The visit and the quote are free and come with no obligation. They let you compare, present the project to a board of directors or prepare a permit application.
Requirements and fees vary from one municipality and borough to another, and the application is usually made by the owner. We help you prepare the file.
A written warranty based on the type of work. Its length and what it covers are set out in the quote, for example depending on the roofing system chosen.
Payments are staged according to the progress of the work, on a schedule written into the quote. For commercial projects, a 10% holdback is released at acceptance.
We do the final walkthrough with you and note in writing any corrections to be made. The Civil Code of Québec (art. 2110) provides that you accept the work when it is completed and ready to be used, with or without reservations. Under article 2111, you may withhold from the payment an amount sufficient to cover the reservations until the corrections are made.
In addition to the written warranty set out in the quote, the Civil Code of Québec sets two responsibilities. For one year, the contractor warrants the work against poor workmanship that existed at acceptance or that is discovered within the following year (art. 2120). For five years, the contractor is liable for the loss of the work resulting from faulty design, construction or production, or from the unfavourable nature of the ground (art. 2118).
It is a security that the Civil Code of Québec (art. 2726 and following) grants to those who take part in the work: the contractor, the subcontractors and the material suppliers. Those who do not have a contract directly with you must declare their contract to you in writing. The hypothec exists for 30 days after the work ends, and beyond that only if a notice is registered in the land register. Before each payment, ask for a release from the subcontractors and suppliers who declared their contract to you.
