Oxbridge Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I just recently moved from Spain to Montreal and I am planning de build a 6-plex in Montreal (Saint-Marie area) with a nice unit where I can live with my wife. Having managed construction projects for over 10 years before coming to Montreal I would like to subcontract the project myself. Unfortunately, I am new to the city so I don't have an overview of good architects and subcontractor or companies I should rather avoid. Of course, I will ask my future architects to help me with the subcontracting, but I know that the quotes that the architects receive are always the highest... I am sure that many of you work in construction or are even architects themselves and are able to recommend some reliable subcontractor that do good work for each element of the building (e.g. architects, engineers, demolition, foundation, roofing company...) It would be great to have a list of companies you have worked with and that you would recommend. Many thanks in advance, any help is highly appreciated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any good advice? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budgebandit Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 (edited) Honestly for a residential kitchen you should check out IKEA. The prices are good and you can customize it any way you want! If you're looking to do 6 units and you want to use a subcontractor, you can check out Ebenisterie Ste-Melanie or Ebenisterie architectural Heritage Edited May 14, 2018 by budgebandit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be great to save a bit on new kitchens and appliances... Thought maybe I could contact some kitchen cabinet manufacturer... Maybe you are right and IKEA is the best and cheapest option. Do you have an idea where you can get appliances cheaper when bought in bulk (12x)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budgebandit Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 An appliance store like Brault & Martineau or the Brick will definitely give you a discount if you buy in bulk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
