Are advance payments protected by the Condo Quality guarantee capped at a certain amount?
With the Condo Quality guarantee, 100% of advance payments are protected. There is no limit.

In the event of a default on the part of the contractor, the advance payments mentioned in the purchase agreement will be fully protected by the Condo Quality guarantee.
What do the quality inspections during the construction phase consist of?
Keep in mind that 100% of projects registered for the Condo Quality guarantee are inspected by ACQ Résidentiel’s building inspectors. To ensure building quality control, we carry out more than eight inspections per project. These include inspections carried out at key construction phases such as foundation, casing, structural slabs, building enclosure, insulation, masonry, finishes, etc. The number of inspections is subject to vary according to the project’s complexity. After each inspection, the contractor will receive a detailed report they can use to follow up with their employees and subcontractors. The objective is to identify potential issues and make any corrections necessary to mitigate claims as much as possible.
