Lumber and constructionOver the years, Québec’s construction sector has been able to innovate, developing various leading-edge sectors. Building envelopes, mechanical systems, major housing projects and hydroelectric facilities, as well as industrial applications for transportation and water treatment, are all areas in which Québec excels. The development of new materials and new combinations of existing elements is another sector of excellence in Québec. Insulation, vapour and air barriers, membranes, exterior sheathing and high-performance window systems are all products that have helped increase Québec’s reputation, along with energy-saving products such as heat-recovery ventilation units and ventilators to regulate air movement and humidity, which save energy while increasing comfort levels. Some of the turn-key projects completed by Québec firms include the development of recreational and tourism sites and hospital facilities, the restoration of old buildings, urban development and neighbourhood revitalization projects. The services provided range from project design and management to planning, construction and financing. |
