Depending on the municipality, area and characteristics of the property, your project may be subject to a Site Planning and Architectural Integration Program (SPAIP), known as a PIIA in French. Construction Pr\u00e9cellence can help you design a harmonious transformation and coordinate the steps leading to its completion. Have questions?

The region features older homes, suburban properties, village areas and buildings of heritage interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:16px\">A project that transforms the appearance, volume or location of a house may therefore be evaluated according to specific criteria.
