Facade inspection service (Bill 122)
If your building has five or more above-ground floors, compliance with Law 122 involves one essential requirement: ensuring that no facade elements can become detached (brick, stone, cornices, fixed elements) and quickly correcting any dangerous conditions.
Unlike a general masonry company, we approach the Bill 122 with a structural vision. We don’t just repair the surface; we connect the building envelope to its framework.
We offer peace of mind to building managers who prioritize sustainability and safety.
Mandatory compliance with Law 122 and maintenance of major assets.
Transparent management, clear plans for general meetings and pension funds.
One call for inspection and repair work. Maximum efficiency.
Preserving historical architecture and public safety.
STEP 1
Objective: Identify actual risks and deficiencies that could lead to material detachment or loss of stability.
Cracks, damaged joints, broken bricks, unstable stones
Areas that bulge, “work,” or deform
Visible corrosion, weak points at lintels/angle irons
Parapets, copings, cornices, spandrels, corners, around openings
Water infiltration, efflorescence, delamination, freeze/thaw damage
Do you already have a report? We also work from reports by external architects to estimate the cost of the work.
STEP 2
Objective: Transform the inspection (or your report) into a logical, efficient, and cost-effective work plan
1
Accurate validation of areas requiring correction and verification of access.
2
Localized repair, reinforcement, replacement, partial reconstruction
3
Priorities for action, distinguishing between what needs to be stabilized first and what can be achieved later.
4
Detailed work, precise quantities, stages, and schedule.
| Standard inspection service | Our approach at Restaure Action |
| External inspector without a field team. | Expert engineer who understands the realities of the construction site. |
| Recommendations that are sometimes theoretical or costly | Solutions optimized for your structure and budget. |
| Need to find a contractor after the report. | Complete support: from assessment to construction. |
The purpose of the law is to ensure that no elements (bricks, stones, cornices) fall onto public roads. Calling on a team with dual expertise in engineering and execution guarantees a realistic assessment and applicable technical solutions.
Comprehensive support for compliance with Act 122
(Masonry anchors)
Anchors provide the link between the masonry and the structure. When they rust, the facade can lose its stability. The result: movement, cracks, detachment, and an increased risk of falling materials.
(Bowed wall)
A bulging wall is not just an aesthetic issue. It is a deformation of the masonry that can evolve and become dangerous if not corrected in time. Early intervention can prevent further weakening of the affected section.
(Stone and brick)
Damaged joints allow water to seep in. Combined with freeze-thaw cycles, this water accelerates the deterioration of masonry, promoting cracking, movement, and instability. A weakened facade can quickly become a safety hazard.
(In case of a dangerous situation)
From inspection to compliance, Restaure-Action provides comprehensive support.

Bill 122 (as needed)
No. Bill 122 is primarily intended to ensure that no part of a building’s exterior poses a risk to public safety. Repairs are only required if the inspection reveals non-compliant or hazardous conditions. If the exterior is deemed compliant, no action is required.
Yes. At Restaure-Action, the inspection and assessment required by Bill 122 are performed by an engineer, and we then take care of any necessary repairs.
We can intervene based on an existing Bill 122 report, even if it was carried out by another firm. We first validate the findings on site to confirm the actual conditions, then we take charge of planning and executing the recommended corrective measures, if required.
A bulging wall tends to change over time. Early intervention often helps stabilize the masonry and prevent a controllable situation from becoming urgent or dangerous.
Yes. The purpose of the inspection is to assess compliance with Bill 122, not to generate additional work. If the facade is compliant, the report will clearly state this and no action will be required.
Yes. If a condition poses an immediate risk to public safety, we can respond quickly to implement temporary safety measures, stabilize hazardous elements, and reduce the danger. This emergency service is available 24/7, 12 months a year, including during the winter.
Yes. Reports and recommendations are written in a clear and understandable manner to facilitate decision-making at meetings and budget planning.
Yes, we offer both services. The inspection and Bill 122 report are always carried out independently, with no obligation to carry out any work. If corrections are necessary, a separate proposal is presented, and the work is only carried out with the client’s agreement.
Yes. Upon request, we can perform a comprehensive assessment of the condition of the façade, including an analysis of its components, general wear and tear, and elements to monitor in the medium and long term. This process is independent of the regulatory inspection required by Bill 122 (RBQ standards) and is intended to support the long-term planning and management of the building.
The Régie du bâtiment du Québec (RBQ) requires these inspections under the Building Chapter of the Safety Code. Commonly known as “Bill 122,” this regulation makes periodic facade inspections mandatory for all buildings with five or more stories.
