Project management
One Team Accountable for the Whole Project.
Home Renovation Contractors acts as general contractor and project manager for residential and commercial renovations across Greater Montreal, Laval and the North and South Shores.
Most renovations involve several regulated trades: carpenters, electricians, plumbers, tile setters, drywall finishers and painters. When nobody coordinates them, schedules slip, work is redone and costs climb. Project management puts one accountable team in charge.
In Quebec, general contractors must hold an RBQ licence with the right subcategories, and electrical and plumbing work must be done by licensed trades. We manage that coordination, along with permits, inspections, deliveries and site safety.
Project management is part of every complete home renovation, commercial renovation and design-build project.

What does a renovation project manager do?
They plan the scope and schedule, coordinate licensed trades, manage permits and inspections, track the budget and change orders, and keep you informed until handover.
Is a general contractor the same as a project manager?
On most renovations the general contractor also manages the project. We take responsibility for planning, coordination and the result.
Do you need an RBQ licence to manage renovations in Quebec?
Yes. Contractors who perform or coordinate construction work must hold a valid RBQ licence with the right subcategories, which you can verify on the RBQ register.
Can you take over a project another contractor started?
Often yes, after a site visit to assess the work done, what must be corrected and what remains.
How are changes handled during the project?
Every change is priced and approved in writing before the work is done.
Do you manage commercial projects?
Yes, including offices, retail and multi-unit work, phased around operations when needed.
