MAJOR RENOVATIONS / EXPANSIONS / NEW CONSTRUCTION

We have been working on major renovation projects throughout Quebec since 2009. Offering a wide range of services, from the renovation of a central room, such as a kitchen or a bathroom, to the construction of a new house, we surround ourselves with the best professionals in the industry and collaborate with our clients until the very end of their project if they wish.

Our goal is to allow people to feel ready, confident and supported throughout their renovations. To do this, our team takes you through a clear and structured process. We involve our clients at the heart of each decision of their project by explaining precisely the budgetary, spatial and emotional stakes. To ensure peace of mind during the construction process and to give our clients a great deal of autonomy, we offer extremely clear and precise construction plans, greatly appreciated by all industry professionals.

In short, we are the compass for your future renovations!

Q&A

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT IS THE AVERAGE TIME FOR A PROJECT?

The total duration of a project varies greatly depending on many factors such as the availability of the various parties involved, the state of the market, but especially... you! On our side, our process takes a minimum of 3 months if you respond quickly between each step, but in reality it usually takes 4 to 6 months. If some may find this time frame a bit long at first glance, it is probably a life project and as the investment is substantial, you will quickly understand that this process is complex and requires reflection on your part at several crucial stages.

Finally, the teams chosen to carry out your project will be able to give you a good idea of the duration of your project once they have seen our plans.

WHAT IS THE COST OF YOUR SERVICES?

We work on a fixed price basis and these are defined according to the precise needs that will have been discussed together during a free familiarization meeting. The level of custom detail and support you want from us will influence the number of hours we plan, but your budget will have no impact on our rates. So, for two projects of similar size, dimensions and budget, our fees can go from simple to double if you want something basic or if you prefer full support until the end of the project. Curious to know how much our services would cost for your project? We invite you to fill out our online form so that we can provide you with a customized service offer.

DO YOU WORK IN COLLABORATION WITH TECHNOLOGISTS / ARCHITECTS / ENGINEERS?

Of course we do! Whether it's an addition, a basement excavation, a floor addition or even a new home, our team is constantly working with different professionals depending on the needs of the project at hand. Some clients come in with their contacts and we are always happy to collaborate with new people, others ask for references from previous clients and we are happy to provide them to facilitate the process.

TO WHAT EXTENT IS YOUR SERVICE CUSTOMIZED?

In full! You decide how much support you want and how far we go to take care of the smallest details of your project. We offer an hourly service in addition to the usual package when some customers want additional meetings with them, suggestions for the exterior aesthetics of their facade, a proposal for their backyard, help with the final installation of their interior, etc.

CAN I CHOOSE WHO I WORK WITH IN YOUR TEAM?

From the very first discussions, we will establish the stakes of your project and the aesthetic direction you wish to take. Consequently, a project manager will be assigned to your mandate based on his or her qualities to respond to your project as efficiently as possible. We are confident that you will be fully satisfied with the expertise of the member of our team with whom you will collaborate!

IS IT ALWAYS THE SAME PERSON WHO WILL TAKE CARE OF MY FILE THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT?

Yes, once you've assigned a project manager, this person will become your daily contact for all the specific questions related to your project. Gatline, the owner, also supervises all of the office's projects until the very end of the mandate. In addition, in some projects, a team member specialized in technical drawing could be added to the exchanges and discussions as needed to help the project manager produce your construction plans.

DO YOU HAVE IN-HOUSE CONTRACTORS AND CABINETMAKERS?

Although we do not offer any in-house construction services and we do not subcontract any services, we do work with many professionals on a daily basis and we are always pleased to offer these references to our new clients. We always try to refer you to contacts that meet the requirements of your project, but you remain free to choose the different teams you wish to work with for your project!

DO YOU HAVE ANY PROJECTS OUTSIDE THE GREATER MONTREAL AREA?

Of course, we go where you are! If travel is required, it will simply be billed as an additional fee to the usual package offered for a similar project in the greater Montreal area.

DO YOU DO SMALL PROJECTS OR DECORATION?

No, we focus on major renovation projects and do not offer furnishing and/or decorating services outside of a complete renovation project.

HOW DO YOU DECIDE IF A PROJECT IS A GOOD FIT?

First of all, it is important for us to define if the deadline and the budget are realistic. Then we need to feel that the trust in our team is there from the start. We make sure that our clients are looking for a unique and customized product and that they understand the value of our services.

Our clients all share our vision, appreciate our expertise and like what we do, so they trust us throughout the process.

CAN I MANDATE YOU FOR LAYOUT PLANS ONLY?

Having acquired a reputation over the years for the quality of our layout plans, we actually offer this service separately from the other phases, if needed.

Some clients (often in the construction field), hire us only for these plans which already offer ultra-optimized layout ideas for their project. Others change their minds and hire us for the rest as well... what can we say, we are charming! Haha! ;)

WHAT IS APDIQ AND ARE YOU A MEMBER?

The APDIQ (Association Professionnelle des Designers d'Intérieur du Québec) is the association of qualified interior design professionals, of which we are a member.

DO YOU OFFER YOUR DESIGNER DISCOUNTS?

Indeed, as members of the APDIQ, we offer our designer discounts to all our customers. These discounts vary from 5% to 35% depending on the type of product specified.
