IMPARTIAL GUIDE AND CITY TOUR TO INVEST IN MONTREAL IN REAL ESTATE

impartial guide and city tour to invest in montreal in real estate - daniel dargis engineer

Montreal is made up of 19 boroughs. Each borough has its own permit office and each one has its own urbanization regulations. Investment opportunities in real estate are very varied in Montreal. In the downtown borough of Ville-Marie for instance, huge skyscrapers are under construction every year. Many foreign investors from China and Arab countries buy entire floors of buildings under construction for speculation. During construction the prices are much lower and at the end of construction the prices go up and start generating profits. On the outskirts of the boroughs like in Griffintown for instance several condo buildings quickly find buyers among professionals and career people. Building land is already becoming scarce but there are still plenty of opportunities though to invest in Montreal in real estate. In other boroughs such as Montreal North, Hochelaga and Montreal East, land and buildings are priced much lower. These sectors represent the best growth potential in real-estate values for the next 20 years. Many workers and young university-educated graduates with their first job are getting their first condos in the eastern sectors of Montreal.

There is much more to discover by making a city tour of Montreal. During the visit of the city Daniel Dargis Eng., who is a native of Montreal, takes the time to explain local history and culture to better understand economic prospects and potential. You must know that more than 60% of the population in Montreal now comes from other countries.

An excursion or business trip to Montreal to find investment opportunities is of course not limited to the Island of Montreal only. When making an exploration trip in real estate in Montreal it is essential to visit also its neighbouring cities starting north with: Laval, St. Eustache, Mirabel, St. Jérôme, - and on the South Shore: Longueuil, Brossard, St. Hubert, Beloeil, Châteauguay, St. Constant and many other places.

INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN MONTREAL, THE CCQ, RBQ AND THE CONSTRUCTION LAWS IN QUEBEC

investment opportunities in montreal, the ccq, rbq and the construction laws in Quebec - daniel dargis engineer

In Quebec there are two major aspects to take into account before investing in real estate when it comes to carrying out works afterwards, whether it is a minor work of partial demolition, expansion or even completely new renovation work. These two major aspects are: the labour law in the field of construction (for workers in the construction sector) and the laws relating to the use of RBQ licenses of specialized or general contractors . The organization to contact in connection with the labour law is the La Commission de la Construction du Québec - CCQ and for RBQ entrepreneurs' licenses, the organization to contact is the La Régie du Bâtiment du Québec - RBQ

In Quebec, these two organizations are under the control of the provincial government of Quebec and not of the Government of Canada. Another thing to consider is about obtaining building permits. The granting of renovation or construction permits is done by the municipality's permit office through urbanization rules of the municipality in question. In the case of Montreal, the city is divided into 19 boroughs and each borough has its own office of building permits. It is the municipality (or borough in the case of Montreal) that is at the top of the decision-making pyramid. It authorizes the TYPE of building that can be built or renovated; HOW, WHERE and by WHOM (subject to respecting the construction labour law with the CCQ). So, before investing in Montreal in real estate with the intention of doing subsequent works, the first thing to do is to contact in this order:
  • The Borough's license office. To know the TYPE of construction or renovation authorized, HOW (under which Building Code), WHERE, by WHOM (workers and/or contractors) and with the help of WHICH professionals (architect, engineer ...);
  • The CCQ - Commission de la Construction du Québec. To know WHO WHO has the right to work, on WHAT and WHERE;
  • The RBQ - Régie du Bâtiment du Québec. To know WHO has the right to build or renovate, HOW, WHAT and WHERE.

Let's talk a little bit about the workforce and skill cards of the workers to do the work. Before investing in real estate in Montreal or anywhere else in Quebec, it is very important to consider the laws and standards in construction in Quebec. Especially in relation to the labour laws that are typical of the construction sector in the Province of Quebec. Many foreign and even local real-estate investors in Quebec are not aware that since November 2017, various changes in the law now require property owners to use RBQ contractors for all structural work. So, it is no longer possible to think about saving money by doing major work yourself. We are talking here about new construction, enlargement and even the removal of a simple load-bearing wall. The CCQ organization La Commission de la Construction du Québec has several inspectors who control small or large work sites. These inspectors, who are real specialist police officers in construction work, are responsible for enforcing the collective agreements of construction workers and respecting wages. So, before investing to buy a building and estimate labour costs, make sure you have a sufficient budget to spend on labour based on the type of renovation work you intend to carry out and on the laws to be respected. Otherwise, you risk not making your investment profitable. These matters are not necessarily mentioned when you do business with a real-estate agent who is trying to sell you the property at all costs to get a commission. It is for this reason that it is better to seek advice from an impartial expert in construction and building matters.

Let's now talk a bit about building licenses as an RBQ contractor. In Quebec, before undertaking any type of construction or renovation work, it is ALWAYS preferable to contact the Régie du bâtiment du Québec RBQ to find out the type of license required. There are various types of construction and category licenses, such as: general contractor, specialized contractor or self-builder licenses. Informing yourself well will avoid you a lot of complications, fines and contribute to the profitability of your project.

You now realize how important it is to be informed in an impartial way before investing in real estate in Montreal. Like anywhere else by the way. Daniel Dargis engineer, impartial advisor, general contractor RBQ since 1989 and a native of Montreal informs you on all points before investing in real estate in Montreal.
