Everything You Want to Know About Your Residential Project
Are you planning a new construction, home addition, or exterior renovation project in Gatineau? Here are answers to the questions our clients ask us most often.

Does Rénovel Offer a Turnkey Service?
Yes. Rénovel takes full charge of your residential project: trade coordination, site monitoring, timeline adherence, and final delivery. You have a single point of contact from start to finish.
What Is the Difference Between a Home Addition and New Construction?
New construction means building a property from A to Z on an empty lot. A home addition means adding space to an existing property — on a foundation, on screw piles, by adding a storey, or adding a room. In both cases, we handle all the work.
Who Handles the Building Permits?
Rénovel coordinates the permit process for your project in Gatineau and the surrounding area. Our team is familiar with municipal requirements and ensures your project complies with RBQ standards from the outset.
How Long Does a Typical Project Take?
Timelines vary depending on the type and scope of the project. As a general guide:
- New construction: several months, depending on the plans and site conditions
- Home addition: a few weeks to a few months, depending on the type of work
- Exterior renovation: a few days to a few weeks, depending on the scope of work
At the time of your quote, we provide a precise timeline tailored to your project.
