House Plans

Modern House Plans for housing projects in Montreal

Construction Daniel Dargis Inc. meets you with its team of technologists, architects & designers to create your house plans. First, we will visit your property or we will even help you to find one. Land is scarce in Montreal and the surrounding area but our business network enables us to find the plot that suits you. Once the land is found, we can determine the orientation of your house with you and maximize the surface of your land and your house plans.

A few meetings may be necessary to identify your needs and tastes well. The design of house plans comes with 2D and 3D drawings to help you visualize the look of your future house. The technologist will meet you at your home or at our office to listen to you, and receive the photos, journals, sketches, drawings and plans that you have in your hands. He/she will ask you questions about each room: the kitchen, the living room, the bedroom, the bathroom, the basement, the garage and other rooms. With all this information he can already begin working to present to you a preliminary creation. The advantage of working with us is that our team of technologists and architects works closely with Mr. Daniel Dargis, engineer and general contractor. Mr. Dargis keeps track of the design process to make compromises in order to meet budgets. When the first draft plan is ready then the technologist or architect will meet you a second time to confirm your tastes.

Your house plans and the construction costs

Most designers, technologists and architects design plans with consumer tastes as their only concern without thinking about meeting budgets and practical aspects. Construction Daniel Dargis Inc. knows everything about construction, techniques, materials, and costs and can, all throughout the design of the plans, inform the client. Plans carried out by an architect can be expensive. This is why it is recommended to bring in a technologist at the start. One must also be sure, at the time of the design of the plans, to be supervised by an RBQ-licensed contractor to ensure feasibility at reasonable cost. Mr. Daniel Dargis, engineer and general contractor, takes care of the follow-up during the design of the plans for your house.

House plans, financing and warranty of a new APCHQ Abritat

To receive your approval of funding for the construction of your new house your financial institution will require you to deal with an RBQ-licensed contractor who offers a warranty for new APCHQ homes or from one of the other associations in Quebec. Construction Daniel Dargis Inc. has these licenses and warranties. When applying for funding you will give a copy of your house plans to your financial institution so that an expert may confirm the value of your future property that will be financed by the institution you have chosen.

The search of land in Montreal and the plans of the house

Not having a plot of land may seem to be a problem but can also be considered as an advantage. Indeed, bearing in mind the ideal house allows you to search and select the plot that really suits you in terms of magnitude and orientation. And, even if you cannot find vacant land, it is still possible to buy an old house, destroy everything and rebuild from scratch. The cost of demolition of a house is not so expensive after all. Increasingly, one sees in Montreal and surroundings appear new buildings in old neighborhoods, which adds a certain charm.

House plans, estimates and the municipality

Designing the plans for a house requires a working knowledge of the construction process. All too often we see architects or technologists who are unaware of the realities on construction sites. Which gives a hard time to the contractor and his workers. Luckily, with Construction Daniel Dargis Inc. the design of plans is supervised by the contractor himself, something that avoids many problems on the construction site. Needless to say, a good knowledge of the NBC Building Code is essential and the house plans must follow the code required by the municipality. Plans point out the shape of the house, the estimate gives details on the materials and methods used and the municipality issues its directives requiring the version of the NBC Building Code in force, be it either the one from 1995, 2000 or 2005.

Good house plans for good work

Plans used for house construction in Quebec and Canada are for 99% done using imperial measurements: i.e. inches and feet. It is not advisable to use units such as centimeters or meters. You should know that the materials used for the construction of houses in Canada are standards using imperial measurements. However, plans of commercial and industrial buildings are generally made using metric measurements. This results from the fact that these buildings are not constructed using standard wood materials but materials such as metal or concrete. To return to the house plans it is essential that they be clear and precise in their dimensions and measurements for a good understanding by the workers on construction sites who are those that are responsible for performing the work well. It is clear that 3D plans greatly help to imagine the objective to attain and a better understanding.
