MAJOR RENOVATION

COMPLY

You must ensure that the building complies with the applicable standards according to the year of construction or transformation of the building. These standards are aimed at the safety, health or protection of buildings against fire and structural damage.

The standards of the Building chapter of the Safety Code apply in all the following cases:

  • The building is a new construction.
  • The building of which you become the owner has the same use as during its construction.
  • The current use follows a transformation (for example, an office building transformed into a rooming house).
  • The current use follows a change in clientele (for example, a residence for independent seniors transformed into a residence for seniors requiring personal assistance services for eating, dressing, etc. ).

MORE ABOUT US

BUILDING REFURBISHMENT

NEED RENOVATION?

Building repairs and renovations help to have a reliable and durable structure. Several elements come into play: foundation, structure, interior and exterior renovation, roof, layout, etc.

The real advantages of a major renovation with Gilca:

  • Updating your residence;
  • Better energy efficiency;
  • Upgrading;
  • Security and fire protection;
  • Increased resale value;
  • Home automation integration;
  • Receiving a tax credit;
  • Avoidance of constraints that could slow down the project;

BUILDING WATERPROOFING

ENVELOPE | INSPECTION

Inspecting the condition of the building’s vertical envelope reveals the cause of the degradation of the coating (masonry, steel, etc.), windows, waterproofing, etc. The renovation or insulation of a wall or a house or the application of exterior insulation begins with an inspection of these. The visual inspection makes it possible to determine if repair work can be carried out in order to extend the life expectancy of the building or if complete repair work is required.

A preliminary interview allows us to specify the scope of the mandate. Here’s what we’re evaluating:

  • The remaining useful life expectancy of the components;
  • The extent of damage to exterior finishes (and interior if applicable);
  • The causes related to the degradation of the components;
  • The causes of water infiltration, mold or condensation formation

We offer a range of highly energy efficient materials to ensure proper sealing. Choose a building envelope that is safe and weatherproof.

The thermal envelope is expected to play an important role in the energy efficiency of buildings, together with electromechanical systems.

What does my building envelope do?

In addition to protecting against rain and wind, it controls heat gain and loss. It controls the migration of water vapor and allows the penetration of natural light and ventilation. In addition, the building envelope can also play a structural role by being itself self-supporting.

PARKING

UNDERGROUND OR MULTI-FLOOR

Whether upstairs or underground, multi-level parking is a great way to save space. With the increase in the price of land, space efficiency is required to overcome this problem. Multi-storey parking lots are useful for your residences, businesses and industries.

Multi-storey parking can be designed as soon as your establishment is built, but can be added to an already built property. Our engineers and architects offer you solutions for your renovation projects: whether small or large.

In addition, you can consider a spacious underground space under your current establishment. Operational logistics are essential and the experts at Gilca will offer you a solution that will meet your needs.

FIRE PREVENTION

NOZZLE AND ALARM

Whether you own a commercial building, a multi-unit, or simply care about the security of your home, it’s important to have a clear plan and steps to follow in case something goes wrong.

Fire prevention is necessary to contain or stop a fire effectively: fire extinguishers placed in clearly visible places, a sprinkler system that meets standards and is regularly inspected, functional smoke detectors, etc. These are all effective tools to guard your building against the possibility of fire.
