Turnkey project.
You hand us the keys. We hand them back when it's done.
Who it's for
Turnkey is for owners who have neither the time nor the wish to coordinate six trades. Concretely, it means not spending your evenings arbitrating between the electrician who can't come before the plumber is done, and the countertop supplier whose lead time just slipped by three weeks.
It's also the right formula when nobody in the household can be on site during the day. A project where the owner is never there and nobody has the mandate to decide on their behalf is a project that stops at every question.
What we take on
The survey and the plans
We measure the real building, not the one on the original plans. In a house over thirty years old, the gap between the two is almost always significant, and that's where most overruns are born.
Coordinating the engineer and the permit
When the project touches the structure, an engineer who is a member of the OIQ analyzes and seals the plans. We coordinate their mandate, prepare and file the permit application, and follow the file until it's issued.
Purchasing and lead times
Long-lead materials are ordered according to the construction sequence, not when we need them. That's the difference between a site that moves and a site that waits.
Every trade
Demolition, structure, plumbing, electricity, ventilation, drywall, paint, floors, cabinetry. Our team performs the core of the work and we supervise the specialties.
Finishing and touch-ups
The deficiency list is settled before the keys are handed back, not after.
What it changes, concretely
One point of contact, one schedule, one invoice. And above all one person responsible: when a problem appears, there's nobody to pass it on to.
That's the point most people underestimate. In a project managed piece by piece, every contractor is right within their own perimeter, and the owner ends up refereeing a dispute they don't have the technical means to settle.
What we don't do
We don't take small piecemeal jobs or repair calls. Turnkey is built for large projects, where the value of coordination exceeds the value of execution. Below a certain threshold, this structure would cost you more than it brings, and we'll tell you so on the phone.
Saint-Hippolyte cottage
A summer cottage lifted, given a new foundation on piles and rebuilt in phases, one section at a time.
The project was authorized as a renovation: the transformation had to be delivered within that framework, from the first day to the last, on a lakefront, on soil close to the water table.
One team held the sequence: a new foundation on piles, then one wall at a time, one section of roof at a time, the building staying load-bearing at every step, in accordance with the permit issued and the plans sealed by the engineer. Floor area tripled, four seasons.
Read the case
So, what are we working on?
Eight questions, two minutes. We call you back to talk it through, and we tell you frankly whether it's a project for us or whether you'd be better served elsewhere.
