Local QC Scope Details & Technical Standards

Fire protection bids depend on correct hazard classification (light, ordinary group 1/2, extra hazard, ESFR storage), grooved mains versus threaded branch lines, seismic bracing to NFPA 13, backflow and FDC assemblies, and ULC-listed devices. We include CAN/ULC-S536 and S537 inspection and verification where the specification calls for them.

Provincial Building Code: Construction Code of Québec (Code de construction du Québec), Chapter I – Building
Trade Standards: NFPA 13, 14 and 20 (referenced by NBC/NFC) · CAN/ULC-S524 and S537 fire alarm · ULC-listed components · Provincial fire codes
Permit Authority: Municipal permits are issued by each city (for example the Ville de Montréal borough offices). Contractors must hold a Régie du bâtiment du Québec (RBQ) licence, and most construction labour falls under Commission de la construction du Québec (CCQ) collective agreements and trade rates.
Labour Demarcation: CCQ sector agreements (residential, ICI, civil engineering and roads, industrial) set wage rates, trade demarcation and crew ratios — an estimate that ignores the CCQ sector is wrong before it is priced.
