Questions about prices

How long does it take to get my plans?

Usually 2 weeks to 1.5 months after signing and receiving your documents, depending on the size and complexity of the project. The timeline also depends on how quickly each step is approved. The service offer sets out the schedule for your project.

What is the difference from a catalogue plan?

A catalogue plan is drawn in advance, for a lot that is not yours. Our plans are drawn for your lot, your budget, your municipality's regulations and the way you live, with two rounds of modifications included. The starting price is posted up front and paid in two 50% instalments.

Why a "from" price?

Every lot and every building is different. The starting price corresponds to a simple project; after our first conversation, you receive a service offer with the exact price, valid for 60 days.

Are taxes included?

No. GST and QST are added to the prices shown.

What is not included?

Fees for engineers, the professional technologist or an architect when required, the certificate of location, the land survey, the soil study and the municipality's permit fees.
