Real estate projects
served by infrastructure

Laval économique offers a support service for developers of real estate projects served by infrastructure.

In the following lines, you'll find all the information you need about our support services, eligibility criteria and how to apply.

What does our support consist of?

Our team is committed to providing you with personalized follow-up. To simplify the process, we match eligible developers with a dedicated contact person, from the submission of the application to the issuance of the required authorizations (permits and certificates).

This process also makes it possible to set up an evolving schedule that takes into account the different stages of the project.

Three-step service

Although our support is always personalized for each customer, it is divided into three main stages, as follows:

1. Preliminary project assessment

Initially, our team undertakes to provide an objective and representative picture of the situation. At this stage, a summary opinion on the feasibility of the project is shared with the promoter (if requested). This opinion covers general aspects of the project, such as :

Planned uses
Availability of municipal services
Natural and man-made constraints
Residual materials management

2. Meet our experts

At this stage, each developer is invited to meet the various professionals in the team dedicated to real estate projects. These meetings provide an opportunity to :

Highlight the recommendations of various City departments.
Offer the promoter the opportunity to adjust his project in line with the approaches identified.
Explore the conditions of compliance with the standards and criteria established by current municipal regulations.

3. Obtaining municipal permits

At this stage, the developer can obtain the necessary municipal approvals, such as building permits, connection permits, PIIAs and other authorizations required for the project.

Eligibility

What are the eligibility criteria for our support?
