Commercial Renovation in Montreal

Spaces transformed without stopping your operations — work planned around your hours.

At Construction Hibou, commercial renovation is built so your operations never stop: we plan the work around your opening hours, across Greater Montreal.

A commercial project comes with constraints a home project doesn't: a lease to respect, inspections to pass and an opening date you can't miss. We work in retail spaces and salons, offices and units and restaurants and cafés, and we coordinate every step to deliver on time. As a general contractor licensed by the RBQ (5798-4619-01), we obtain the required permits and coordinate the necessary inspections.

Budget

How much does a commercial renovation cost in Montreal?

In commercial work, the type of business and the mechanical systems lead the budget. Here's what moves it:

• The size and scope — a refresh and a full fit-up aren't the same investment.
• The type of business — a salon, an office and a restaurant don't have the same plumbing, ventilation and equipment needs.
• Finishes and fixed furniture — counters, reception, flooring and lighting cover a wide price range.
• Mechanical and electrical systems — bringing electrical, plumbing and ventilation up to code affects the budget.
• The work schedule — working outside opening hours takes particular planning.

Every project is quoted after a free consultation.

Timeline

How long does a commercial renovation take

Permits, inspections and after-hours work stretch the calendar. Here's what affects the timeline:

• The scope of work — a partial reconfiguration finishes faster than a full transformation.
• Permits and inspections — municipal timelines and required inspections are part of the schedule.
• The after-hours schedule — working evenings or weekends can spread the project over more days, but keeps your business open.
• Material and equipment lead times — furniture, flooring and specialized equipment have a supply lead time.

We set a realistic schedule from the start, aligned with your opening or reopening date, and keep you informed at every step.

Frequently asked questions

Commercial renovation: your questions

Do you work outside business hours?

Yes. We plan the work evenings, nights or weekends when needed, so your business keeps running during the project. The goal is to minimize the impact on your operations and your customers.

Can you meet my lease requirements?

Yes. We factor in your lease requirements and the building's rules from the planning stage, and coordinate with the landlord or property manager when required.

Do you handle permits and inspections?

Yes. As an RBQ-licensed general contractor, we obtain the necessary permits and coordinate the required inspections for a commercial project, based on your municipality and the nature of the work.

What types of businesses do you renovate?

We renovate retail spaces and salons, offices and units, as well as restaurants and cafés. Each type has its constraints, and we adapt the layout and finishes accordingly.

Can you meet a tight opening date?

Yes. We plan the project backwards from your opening or reopening date and adjust the schedule — including outside business hours — to meet it. A realistic timeline is set from the start.
