Licences pour Installation et construction de piscine au Québec

Pool installation in Quebec requires contractors to hold the appropriate RBQ licence. Building permits are required in most municipalities. Pool fencing must comply with Quebec's Regulation respecting safety in swimming pools, which specifies minimum height, self-closing/self-latching gates, and non-climbable design. Electrical work for pool equipment must be performed by a CMEQ-licensed contractor. Gas heater installation requires an Emploi-Québec certificate of qualification for gas fitting. A property survey is typically required for the permit application.

Ask for the contractor's RBQ licence number and verify it. Confirm they will obtain building permits and ensure pool fencing compliance.
