Know Who You’re Really Hiring Before Building Your Custom Home




At HC Habitation, we believe that building your dream home starts with choosing the right builder. It may sound simple, but the truth is—not all “builders” are created equal.

If you’re scrolling through websites or local ads and see someone offering decks, fencing, bathroom renos, and “odd jobs” alongside new home construction, it’s a big red flag. That’s not a custom home builder—that’s a general handyman wearing too many hats.

A true custom home builder is a specialist. They live and breathe homebuilding—and only homebuilding. From navigating municipal permits to managing skilled trades and ensuring every screw and shingle meets code, a pro builder has a system, a process, and a proven track record.


Ask the Right Questions—Protect Your Investment

Here in Quebec, the legal side matters. You’ll want to make sure your builder holds:

An RBQ licence under category 1.1.1 or 1.1.2 Accreditation with the Garantie de construction résidentielle (GCR)

If they don’t? Walk away.

Without these, they’re not legally authorized to build homes in Quebec. You could end up facing delays, costly mistakes, or even legal trouble—not to mention losing your deposit or warranty protection.


HC Habitation: Fully Licensed. Fully Focused. Fully Committed.

At HC Habitation, we’re not in the business of quick jobs or cutting corners. We’re proud to be:

  • RBQ 1.1.1 licensed

  • Accredited with the GCR

  • Focused 100% on custom homes

We don’t just build houses—we craft homes tailored to your vision, backed by transparency, integrity, and experience. Trust and know we're there with you before, during and after your build.


Thinking of Building?

Let’s chat. We’d love to show you what a professional, worry-free custom home experience can feel like.
