Becoming a real-estate developer or contractor in Quebec, Canada

The real-estate developer in Canada is the person who buys land and/or buildings to set up real-estate projects and then renovate or build anew and then sell at a profit. The person who just buys, waits, takes care of the management and resells without realizing a construction project is rather called a speculator or a real-estate investor. Although to become a real-estate developer in Canada it is not necessary to take courses or obtain a certification it is recommended to be well-informed on all aspects of construction and real-estate both from the point of view of legal matters, codes and standards of construction, urbanization, labor, supply and demand in real-estate, marketing, market value, assessment of buildings and land, as of many other points. Construction Daniel Dargis Inc. is the only construction company in Quebec, Canada, led by Mr. Daniel Dargis, Engineer, to act as an advisor for the foreign real-estate developer who wants to settle in Canada and realize a residential or commercial project.

To distinguish between a real-estate developer in Canada and a construction contractor

We must differentiate the real-estate developer in Canada and the general construction contractor. A real-estate developer in Canada may also be a general construction contractor or hire a contractor to do the work. Unlike the trade of a real-estate developer in Quebec, to be a general or specialty contractor, it is required to obtain an RBQ license from the Régie du Bâtiment du Québec which is a Government agency. This license is obtained by passing certain tests or by engaging a shareholder, called a “sponsor” in the construction company. The real-estate developer, in many cases, will benefit from holding his own RBQ license in order to enjoy more autonomy and increase profits by building the project himself. However, this comes at the cost of having a good understanding of all aspects of construction.
