If you want to self-build your personal house (the one you are going to live in and which will house your family), you do not need to obtain an RBQ license.<\/p>\n
The owner-builder’s license is compulsory for people who wish to work on the work of buildings they own, excluding their personal home (house, condo where they live).<\/p>\n
Often people confuse the term Owner-Builder with self-build.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Work on a work intended for the personal use of a natural person or his family<\/h3>\n
From\u00a0 owner-builders, whoever is a\u00a0 Physical person\u00a0 who carries out or has carried out construction work on a single-family house or on a work intended for his personal use or that of his family is not required to hold a license.<\/p>\n
Things to remember<\/p>\n
\n
- This exemption only applies to a\u00a0 Physical person<\/li>\n
- The\u00a0single family Home<\/strong>\u00a0 must be used exclusively to house the natural person who built it or his family. It must not include any business or accommodation (and bring no income).<\/li>\n
- The natural person who wishes to build a single-family house for the purpose of selling it is presumed to be a building contractor and must hold a contractor’s license.<\/li>\n
- A natural person who wishes to build a single-family house for the purpose of renting it cannot benefit from this exemption: he must hold a builder-owner’s license.<\/li>\n
- At all times, a natural person is not entitled to carry out construction work at an installation intended to use gas, at an installation of petroleum equipment or at an electrical installation, if he does not hold the appropriate license. .<\/li>\n
- By work intended for his personal use, we mean in particular a garage or a shed which have no commercial use and are reserved exclusively for the use of the owner (natural person) or his family.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Plumbing Renovation: Whether licensed or unlicensed, owner-builders must\u00a0 to declare<\/a>\u00a0 any construction or renovation in plumbing.<\/p>\n
