What to know before you start in Gatineau
-
A contractor based in Ontario must hold a valid RBQ licence to perform construction work in Quebec. Verify the number in the RBQ register regardless of which side of the river the company comes from.

Access to Ottawa suppliers widens material choice, but prices quoted in Ontario do not include QST.
Verify the RBQ licence before you sign
In Quebec, a contractor performing construction work must hold a licence from the Régie du bâtiment du Québec. The RBQ register is public and free: search the company name or licence number before paying a deposit. It is the fastest and most useful check you can make, in Gatineau as anywhere else.
