Homes and Buildings Inspection
1. Pre-Reception Home and Buildings Inspection
According to a government decree and the Régie du bâtiment du Québec (RBQ) rules, a new residential building or home must be covered by a warranty plan. The decree is there to provide a crucial step before the buyer takes possession of their home.
2. First-Time Buyers Inspection
Purchasing a home is a serious matter. An inspection of the home is one of the main and basic conditions for the sale to go through.
We will perform the inspection rigorously and point out any defects. We want your home to be as safe and reliable according the latest inspection standards and tools.
3. Homes and Buildings Maintenance Inspection
A homes and buildings maintenance inspection is one of the many inspection services we offer. We will check the main systems of the homes and buildings such as: Roof, Exterior, Basement, Foundation, Crawlspace & Structure, Heating and Cooling, Plumbing , Electrical, Fireplace , Attic, Insulation & Ventilation, Doors, Windows and Interior.
4. Pre-Purchase House and Condo Inspection
Whether you are buying a house or a condo, you’ll always find an inspection clause in the contract. It is a crucial step of the purchasing process. A visual inspection of the home must be done and we will do a precise job to make sure you’re buying a functional and safe home. We will detect any defects before you finalize the purchase.
5. Thermal Imaging
With latest equipment, we spot any issues related to heat discrepancies, such as leaks, plumbing issues, and electrical malfunctions. Thermal imaging helps us determine if insulation is needed. Also, it can be used as a quality control tool, to make sure insulation was installed properly and is working optimally.

Multi-residential – Condominium union
In the multi-residential sector, building condition assessments is the first step in order to build a proper fund-raising pension plans and maintenance books and it will guide our clients in the expenses to come.
Our team offers services and cost-effective solutions.
Our diligent verification is based on the norm « ASTM E2018-15, Standard Guide for Property Condition Assessments: Baseline Property Condition Assessment Process ».
Facades inspection
In order to protect the public’s safety, the RBQ has implemented Bill 122, which requires a thorough facade inspection under the direction of an engineer who is a member of the “Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec” (OIQ) of all buildings with 5 stories or more.
What is Euclide Conception Structurelle's expertise in facade inspections?
Euclide conception Structurelle specialized in facade and structural inspections. Our team of expert OIQ members engineers carry out thorough inspections of facades in accordance with the RBQ’s Bill 122. Our engineers are available to guide you through the process of implementing a facade maintenance program with a view to preventing any defects which could present a risk to the public or the development of any hazardous condition which can later compromise the safety of the public.
What are the obligations of Bill 122 of the RBQ with regards to facade inspections?
As stipulated by Bill 122 of the RBQ, it is the responsibility of building owners to obtain a facade inspection report from an engineer every five years. This report must certify that the facades of the building in question are in good condition and do not present a risk. The facade inspection report provided by our engineers includes a detailed description of the observations and provides recommendations for correcting defects that could possibly contribute to the development of dangerous conditions.
What is included in a facade inspection report produced by Euclide Conception Structurelle?
Euclide Conception Structurelle’s facades inspection report includes:
• A detailed report signed by an OIQ engineer, comply with the requirements of the explanatory guide of the RBQ.
• Corrective works and deadlines, if applicable.
• A photographic annex of observations and the location of the defects on the elevation plan.
• Recommendations to keep facades safe as well as a maintenance schedule.
• If facades are considered safe, a certificate signed by an engineer member of the OIQ will be given in accordance with the requirements of the RBQ.
How often should a facade inspection report be issued?
Owners must obtain a facade inspection report every 5 years.
Underground Parking Inspection
Why conduct an underground inspection?
Under Bill 122, any parking lot containing at least one slab that does not rest on the ground must be thoroughly inspected to evaluate the condition of the elements by an engineer member of the OIQ. In fact, due to Quebec climate, parking lots are exposed to freezing and thawing cycles, salts, and abrasives, which are the main causes of accelerated corrosion of the elements of interior parking lots. Thus, underground parking inspections prevent any dangerous defects or deficiencies, so RBQ has made underground parking inspections mandatory under Bill 122.
How often should an underground parking inspection report be issued?
Owners must obtain an underground parking inspection every 5 years.

BIM and Virtual Design
Digital modeling of engineering structures in the construction sector using Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) or Building Information Modeling (BIM) represents a true revolution.
The application of virtual design makes it possible to visualize completed projects right from the planning stage. This means that clients benefit from a tool that allows them to define their needs more precisely. In addition, all of the parties involved share a common understanding of the project components and their impacts on costs and schedules, coordination requirements, and on-site delivery.
The specialized EUCLIDE team provides professional services for the components of virtual design:
Visualization including 3D modeling, the production of renderings and virtual tours.
Structural analyses and modeling, including seismic, wind, and temperature effects.
AUTOCAD and RIVET Engineering Drawings
Field Measure and Current Situation Plans.
