Who regulates repair work in Quebec

Quebec requires a Régie du bâtiment du Québec (RBQ) licence for construction and renovation contractors. Electricians must belong to the Corporation des maîtres électriciens du Québec and plumbing and heating contractors to the CMMTQ. You can check any RBQ licence number online before paying a deposit.

Consumer complaints and contract questions go to Office de la protection du consommateur. Workers’ compensation coverage, which protects you if a tradesperson is injured on your property, is verified through CNESST. Old electronics can be dropped off free through Recycler mes électroniques (ARPE-Québec).

In a syndicat de copropriété, shared systems such as risers, venting and common wiring usually need the syndicat’s sign-off before work, and most buildings require elevator bookings and contractor registration at the desk.
