Commercial Contractor in Mirabel

Our head office is in Mirabel, at 14163 boulevard Curé-Labelle. Spacia runs commercial job sites from the same address as its clients, and that changes the nature of the service: a superintendent reaches a site in Saint-Janvier in fifteen minutes.

As a commercial general contractor, we take charge of new construction, renovation and expansion for buildings used by businesses. This is a construction company, not a design studio. A construction contractor carries the execution risk; a designer does not. Spacia does no private residential work. That focus on commercial, industrial and multi-unit projects explains the depth of our expertise in the codes that govern these buildings.

Commercial construction and building expansion in Mirabel's industrial zones

Mirabel ranks among Quebec's most active cities for industrial development. The territory covers more than 480 square kilometres and mixes farmland, village sectors and large logistics platforms. A commercial construction project here never looks like a Montreal project: lots are larger, trucking constraints dominate, and access to municipal services varies sharply from one sector to the next.

Industrial parks and the airport sector

Mirabel's airport shapes the local economy. An entire industrial park has grown up around its runways. Freight, aerospace and warehousing activity has drawn manufacturers that build big and expand often. For these businesses, Spacia delivers industrial construction projects and handles the expansion of commercial and industrial buildings when capacity runs short.

The buildings we deliver in these sectors fall into a few families:

plants and production space
warehouses and distribution centres
garages and heavy-duty shops
administrative offices attached to an industrial building

An expansion in an industrial setting means tying the new to the existing without stopping production. That is where the work is decided.

Zoning, permits and the Construction Code

Zoning in Mirabel varies from one sector to the next, and the City applies its own requirements for siting, setbacks and stormwater management. Spacia files the permit applications, answers technical notices and adjusts the drawings when the planning department asks for it.

Compliance with the Construction Code and with CNESST standards then governs execution. Our job sites follow the same safety rules as a Montreal site. Rigour is not negotiated by distance. An institutional project or a shopping centre then adds its own regulatory requirements.

Commercial renovation, fit-outs and tenant improvements

Businesses in Mirabel often occupy premises they did not build. Adapting an existing building costs less than moving, provided the structure, the mechanical systems and the electrical capacity are properly assessed before anything is signed.

Renovating a commercial space in occupied premises

A retail store loses sales every day it stays closed. A restaurant loses more. As a renovation contractor, Spacia sequences commercial renovation work to protect operations: hoarded-off zones, noisy work outside business hours, circulation corridors kept open for customers.

Major renovations in occupied premises demand particular discipline from the trades. A grocery store tolerates no dust near its refrigerated counters. We build the protections accordingly. Planning absorbs the surprises without pushing back the reopening date, and the schedule holds.

Office fit-outs and commercial interior layout

An office fit-out starts with a square footage calculation. How many workstations? How many square feet per employee? Those answers determine the rest. Spacia then coordinates the designers and delivers a custom finish.

The commercial interior projects we lead also cover premises with regulatory requirements: a bank branch, a pharmacy, medical clinic construction where patient flow and confidentiality dictate the plan.

Get a free consultation for your commercial project

A 30- to 45-minute consultation, on site or by video call, with no obligation. Describe your project and leave with a qualified need, a budget order of magnitude and a clear read on the next steps.

Turnkey design-build, from pre-construction to handover

Spacia works in commercial design-build, the delivery method the industry also calls conception-construction. Design and execution answer to the same party. The traditional method separates the two, and the gap between the drawings and the job site becomes the client's problem. Our turnkey commercial construction offering removes that gap.

From the free consultation to the feasibility study

Our front door is not a bid. A commercial project is priced from a real file, not from intuition. The path has three stages.

Free consultation, 30 to 45 minutes, on site or by video call: need qualification, budget order of magnitude, apparent feasibility. No obligation.
Feasibility study, a paid mandate, 4 to 8 weeks depending on the scale of the project.
Guaranteed maximum budget and construction contract.

The feasibility study is where the work gets done. It produces:

A survey of the site or the existing building and an analysis of the conditions in place: structure, mechanical systems, electrical capacity, state of the land.
Regulatory validation: authorized use, zoning, siting, setbacks, stormwater management, access and truck manoeuvring, compliance with the Quebec Construction Code for the intended occupancy group.
The functional program: needs, areas, adjacencies.
A preliminary concept and site plan, produced by our partner architecture firm, a member of the OAQ, with the mandated civil engineers.
A preliminary budget estimate broken down by trade, with the stated accuracy range.
A macro schedule that factors in the planning department's review time and the issuance of the permit.
A register of risks and assumptions: structural constraints, electrical and mechanical capacity, connection to municipal services, decontamination, site access.
The recommended delivery method and a go / no-go opinion.
A meeting to present the results.

You leave that study with a file that belongs to you, usable even if the project goes no further.

Feasibility, pre-construction and a guaranteed maximum budget in writing

The first fear of businesses that build is cost overruns. Spacia answers it with a contractual commitment: a guaranteed maximum budget in writing, signed before work starts.

That number does not appear by magic. It comes out of a file built in order:

Paid feasibility study on the selected site: survey, zoning validation, preliminary concept and itemized budget estimate
Pre-construction: final drawings and specifications with the partner architects, members of the OAQ, and the mandated engineers
Detailed line-by-line estimate, reviewed with you
Written budget ceiling and firm schedule

A budget that holds is a budget that was calculated beforehand, not adjusted along the way.

Trade coordination and handover with no open deficiencies

You speak to one person. Behind that single point of contact, Spacia assumes contractual responsibility for every party involved: electricians, plumbers, painters, specialty subcontractors, material suppliers. Our construction project management team holds the schedule. Site management arbitrates the daily scheduling conflicts between trades. When a carpenter-joiner falls behind, construction management adjusts the schedule instead of absorbing it.

A superintendent is present on the job site. He documents progress, flags variances and closes outstanding items as they come. Handover happens with no open deficiencies, which avoids the punch list that drags on for months after possession.

Commercial contractor expertise: our Mirabel head office on boulevard Curé-Labelle

Few commercial contractors have an address in Mirabel. Spacia is established here, which shortens mobilization times and gives our teams direct knowledge of the sectors: Saint-Janvier, Saint-Augustin, Saint-Canut, Saint-Benoît, the Domaine Vert.

Our service radius covers the whole North Shore and the Laurentians. We work regularly in Saint-Eustache, Boisbriand, Blainville, Sainte-Thérèse, Rosemère, Terrebonne, Mascouche, Repentigny, Saint-Jérôme and Laval, as well as the South Shore, Lanaudière and the Montérégie. See our page on the commercial general contractor in Laval for a nearby market.

RBQ licence and experience on North Shore job sites

Spacia holds the general contractor licence issued by the Régie du bâtiment du Québec, number 5674-9203-01. Our team brings together project management, superintendence, estimating and an in-house interior systems installation crew. That know-how stays in house. Our trades' certifications are current. You can review our team before awarding a mandate.

Experience is verified on delivered projects. Some fifty commercial job sites have been completed, including the 2C2B coworking space in Boisbriand, twenty minutes from Mirabel.

Transparency is measured by what a client can verify themselves.

Frequently asked questions about commercial projects

What types of commercial projects do you deliver in Mirabel?

Spacia delivers new commercial construction, commercial renovation, fit-outs of professional spaces and the expansion of existing buildings. We also run industrial and multi-unit projects. Spacia does no residential construction and no residential renovation for private homeowners.

How much does commercial construction cost per square foot?

Cost per square foot depends on the type of building, the quality of finish, the mechanical systems required and the state of the land. A steel-frame warehouse and a medical clinic do not compare. Our article on how to calculate commercial square footage explains the calculation method we use in estimating. Our preliminary budget estimate is produced during the feasibility study, broken down by trade and based on a real survey of the site.

How do I start a commercial project with Spacia?

Describe the project, the target area and the start horizon. The initial consultation is free, lasts 30 to 45 minutes and commits you to nothing: it serves to qualify the need and establish a budget order of magnitude. The feasibility study follows, a paid mandate of 4 to 8 weeks that produces the survey, the regulatory validation, the preliminary concept and the itemized estimate. The guaranteed maximum budget and the construction contract follow from it.

Does Spacia work with architects who are members of the OAQ?

Yes. Spacia does not provide architectural services and is not a member of the Ordre des architectes du Québec. We coordinate partner architecture firms whose members belong to the OAQ, along with the required engineers, and we manage the mandate on your behalf.
