Verify the company signing the quote

Ask for the legal name and licence number, then verify them with the Régie du bâtiment du Québec. Check that the licence covers the proposed work. Request proof of liability insurance and identify who will coordinate other trades if lighting or services are affected.

Describe the job to the City

Give the Permits and Inspections Division the address, how the space is used and the exact work. Say whether you are replacing tiles, adding a grid, opening an existing ceiling or moving equipment. Ask what documents are needed and who should apply before scheduling the work.

Give bidders the same plan

Include dimensions, finished height, obstructions, lights and service points. Ask them to specify removal, disposal, cutouts, trims, cleanup and dates. If you supply the panels, have the installer confirm the product references, accessories and fixing method before ordering.

Test access before handover

Mark valves, junction boxes and other equipment that needs servicing. Ask the installer to demonstrate how to remove and replace a tile below the lowest obstruction. Compare quotes for the same work and keep the written allocation of responsibilities. Browse the ceiling systems to prepare your choice of panels and accessories.
