Frequently asked
General Contracting — your questions, answered.
Does a general contractor in Quebec need an RBQ licence?
Yes. Anyone in Quebec whose main activity is organizing, coordinating, or carrying out construction work must hold a valid licence from the Régie du bâtiment du Québec (RBQ). A general contractor licence lets the firm subcontract part or all of a job to other contractors. You can verify any licence for free in the RBQ's public Licence Holders' Repertory.
What is the difference between a general contractor and a specialized contractor?
A general contractor organizes and coordinates a whole project and can hire subcontractors to perform the work, acting as your single point of responsibility. A specialized contractor is licensed only for one specific trade, such as electrical or roofing, and must work strictly within that certified area. IN Design & Construction holds a general contractor licence.
Is the general contractor responsible for the subcontractors' work?
Yes. A general contractor is generally accountable for the overall project, including quality, scheduling, and the performance of the subcontractors it hires and pays directly. Because the subcontracts are held by the contractor, you deal with one accountable party rather than coordinating trades yourself, which simplifies warranty and defect claims on the finished build.
