The building stock of Le Plateau-Mont-Royal and what it changes on site
The Plateau is probably the most demanding borough on the island for a demolition job, and you have to go in knowing it. The stock is old, dense and strongly identity bearing, with its exterior staircases, cornices and brick façades. The borough tightly controls any work affecting the exterior appearance of a building, and a demolition application is reviewed far more closely there than elsewhere. Add narrow streets, scarce parking and immediate neighbours on three sides, and you get a job where preparation matters more than machine power.
Dominant building stock Late nineteenth and early twentieth century brick plexes, exterior staircases, detailed façades and very narrow attached lots.
Three ground realities in Le Plateau-Mont-Royal
Strict regulatory oversight
Anything visible from the street is closely reviewed. The application file has to be solid from the moment it is filed, otherwise timelines stretch.
Façades often to be retained
Selective demolition with façade retention is common. It requires engineered shoring and patient cutting.
Extremely constrained access
Narrow streets, scarce parking, attached neighbours. Hand demolition and mini machinery are often the only option.

Who issues the demolition authorisation
The demolition authorisation certificate application is filed with the borough of Le Plateau-Mont-Royal. 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 Le Plateau-Mont-Royal.
Yes, it is a common request on the Plateau and a method we handle regularly. The façade is shored with an engineered structure before any removal, then demolition works from the inside towards the rear. It takes longer and costs more than a full demolition, but it is often what the borough requires.
Generally yes, because applications touching an older building or a visible façade get an in depth review and may go before a committee. We give you a realistic timeline estimate at the site visit so your renovation schedule accounts for it.
No. Travel is included in the quote everywhere in Greater Montréal. The price depends on the nature of the job and access constraints, never on distance.
