Construction des infrastructures | Le coût des trottoirs et des bâtiments municipaux explose
AI Article Summary
The cost of infrastructure projects like sidewalks and municipal buildings in Quebec has risen significantly over the past decade, with increases ranging from 72% to 123% depending on the project type. This price surge is due to general construction cost hikes, infrastructure improvements, and regulatory changes. Municipalities now need to pay more despite not receiving additional government funding.
What This Means for Canadian Contractors
For Quebec builders, this means cost increases pressure their margins and require more rigorous financial planning. The addition of norms and technological improvements complicates permitting and supply chains, potentially prompting increased exploration of solutions like prefabrication to cut costs and timing. This project also highlights the importance of discussions with local governments to adjust regulatory frameworks to market realities.
