Common Questions

Yes, if the work involves structural changes or moving plumbing/electrical lines. The 2026 permit fee is $9.80 per $1,000 of project value, with a minimum fee of $167.40 for residential buildings.

Many Montreal homes built before 1990 contain asbestos. Professional abatement for a single bathroom typically adds $1,500 to $5,000 to the budget, depending on whether it is found in plaster, floor tiles, or pipe insulation.

No. In Quebec, all plumbing and electrical work must be performed by contractors holding valid RBQ licenses. DIY work in these areas is illegal, can void insurance, and will cause issues during municipal inspections or property sales.
