The building stock of Lachine and what it changes on site
Lachine was shaped by the canal and the industry that settled along it, and the territory still carries that structure. There are former industrial sites under transformation, an old village core with heritage buildings, and post war residential sectors. Redevelopment projects along the canal have brought a great deal of selective demolition and stripping of older buildings, often with partial structural retention. Older industrial stock calls for the same asbestos vigilance as elsewhere, with the added question of soils and materials inherited from past activity.

Inherited materials
Pipe lagging, sprayed fireproofing and old renders in industrial buildings. Assessment is unavoidable.

Who issues the demolition authorisation
The demolition authorisation certificate application is filed with the borough of Lachine. We prepare the file, submit it and follow the application through to issue. We also coordinate service disconnection with the utilities before work starts.
What people ask us in Lachine.
Yes, through selective demolition. We retain the structure, masonry or façade depending on what the project and the borough require, and remove only what has to go. Those elements are identified and protected during the survey, before the first removal.
They depend on the sector. In the old core and on heritage buildings, the review is more in depth and may go before a committee. In post war residential sectors the process is more direct. We give you the realistic timeline at the site visit.
