Management policies of the manager

To avoid any conflict, whether real or apparent, between the construction industry and the Guarantee Plan management, the Regulation respecting the guarantee plan for new residential buildings provides management policies to regulate managers. These policies have been developed by the Régie du bâtiment du Québec (RBQ). This organization has the power to impose sanctions if a manager does not fulfill their obligations, e.g. by not following these policies:

The new Regulation respecting the guarantee plan for new residential buildings came into force on January 1, 2015. The management policies are part of many amendments that were adopted to rectify the problems identified during the program evaluation and in common practice.
