Common Questions about Construction and Renovation in Quebec

  • What Is the Building Envelope?

    The building envelope includes all the components that protect a structure from the outside: facade, insulation, waterproofing membranes, and fenestration. A failing envelope leads to water infiltration, waterproofing issues, and damage that worsens over time. If you notice these signs, contact us promptly.

  • Do I Need a Permit for My Renovation or Construction Work?

    In Quebec, most new construction, addition, and structural modification projects require a permit issued by your municipality. Requirements vary depending on the city and the nature of the work. Contact us to discuss your project: we can guide you through the process.

  • Why Is It Important to Choose a Contractor With an RBQ Licence?

    In Quebec, any contractor who performs construction work for others must hold a licence from the Régie du bâtiment du Québec. Verifying your contractor’s licence before signing a contract provides you with financial protection in the event of a dispute. Besco Construction holds RBQ licence 5793-5009-01.

  • What Is the Difference Between a General Contractor and a Specialized Contractor?

    A general contractor organizes, coordinates, and oversees all work on a job site. They may subcontract to specialized contractors while remaining the primary party responsible for the project. The advantage: one point of contact from excavation to finishing.

  • How Does a Quote Request Work at Besco Construction?

  • What Types of Warranties Cover Construction Work in Quebec?

    Warranties vary depending on the type of project and the applicable regulations. Besco Construction honours the warranties prescribed under the laws in effect in Quebec. Contact us to learn about the specific warranties for your project
