Your Masonry Project in Kirkland: A Practical Guide
At Maçonnerie Montréal, we understand the importance of meticulous planning for your masonry projects. Kirkland, with its unique charm and specific regulations, deserves special attention. Here’s what you need to know to successfully carry out your masonry work in this distinct area of Montreal.
1. Permits and Regulations: Essential Information
Before initiating any masonry project, it's crucial to familiarize yourself with local regulations. In Kirkland, most renovation works, including masonry, require a construction permit or an authorization certificate. Examples of work requiring a permit include:
- Construction or modification of stone or brick walls and structures.
- Installation or renovation of chimneys and fireplaces.
- Projects involving changes to the external structure.
To apply for a permit, visit the Kirkland City Hall or submit your application online. Ensure that you include all necessary documents, such as construction plans and material samples.
2. Processing Times and Costs
Processing your permit application can take between 3 to 8 weeks, depending on the project's complexity. Fees are calculated based on the estimated cost of the work, with a base rate of $8.00 per $1,000 of work. Additional fees may apply for projects requiring a Plan of Implementation and Architectural Integration (PIIA).
3. Compliance with Zoning and Construction Regulations
Adhering to Kirkland’s zoning (no 90-58) and construction (no 90-60) regulations is crucial. These regulations set the standards for ensuring safety and aesthetic harmony in the community. Our team can assist you in understanding these requirements.
4. Demolition and Major Modifications
If your project involves demolishing an existing structure, a demolition certificate is required. This process is governed by regulation no 2007-54 and applies to all types of buildings.
Your Responsibility as a Client
While we are here to guide you through each step, it’s important to note that the responsibility to ensure compliance with regulations and obtaining necessary agreements falls on you, our client. We will support you in these processes, but finalizing these administrative aspects is crucial before commencing work.
