Renovation and discovery of hidden defects: what to do legally
Undertaking a renovation project is often synonymous with enthusiasm, renewal, and long-term investment. Whether it's to modernize a house, expand a cottage, or convert a garage, Quebec homeowners embark on renovations hoping to improve their quality of life and the value of their property. However, renovations sometimes reveal unsuspected problems hidden behind walls, under floors, or in the foundations.


How to choose your construction budget?
Building or renovating a house, cottage, or garage is one of the most important projects in a lifetime. Behind the enthusiasm and design ideas, however, lies an unavoidable reality: the budget. Too often underestimated or poorly structured, the construction budget becomes a source of stress, delays, and unforeseen compromises.


Difference between an architectural technologist and an interior designer
Between architectural technologists, interior designers, architects, and even general contractors, many prospective homeowners wonder who to entrust with their project to achieve a result that is compliant, functional, and aesthetically pleasing. This confusion is understandable, especially when it involves a major investment like building a house, cottage, or garage.


Contingency fund under construction: how much to allocate and why
Building or renovating a house, cottage, or garage represents a major investment, both financially and emotionally. Even with meticulous planning, unforeseen events can occur at various stages of a construction or renovation project. This is precisely why a contingency fund plays a central role in the success of a residential project. Yet, it remains poorly understood or underestimated by many homeowners.


How to create open-plan spaces?

Partial or complete renovation: which to choose?
Maintaining, modernizing, or transforming a property is an important step in a homeowner's life. Whether it's to improve comfort, increase the home's value, or adapt the space to new needs, renovation quickly raises a central question: should you opt for a partial or a complete renovation?


What are the most expensive costs in a home renovation?
Renovating your house, cottage, or garage is both an exciting and demanding project. It's the perfect opportunity to transform a space to your liking, improve its functionality, or increase its market value. However, this type of project often raises many questions.
