Your Masonry Project in Pointe-Claire: What You Need to Know
Construction Permits: A Crucial Step
For any construction, transformation, or expansion project in Pointe-Claire, obtaining a construction permit is essential. This includes exterior modifications, the installation of heating systems, and even adding a terrace. Fortunately, minor repairs do not require a permit.
Adhering to Local Regulations
Your project must comply with Zoning and Construction regulations, as well as the Quebec Construction Code. All this information is accessible on the city's website.
Preserving Pointe-Claire's Nature
Pointe-Claire values its forest cover. Before starting, an urban forestry assessment is required for projects impacting vegetation. This assessment, prepared by a professional, must detail the condition of trees on your property.
Necessary Documents for Permit Application
To submit your application, you will need:
- A copy of the location certificate prepared by a land surveyor.
- A plan detailing the location of existing trees, vegetation to be protected or removed, and planned plantings.
- Construction plans signed by an architect or a professional technologist, depending on the project.
Fees and Timelines
Permit fees are calculated based on the estimated cost of the work, with a set minimum. A security deposit may also be required. The standard approval time is 30 days, subject to certain conditions.
