General contractor for renovations and new builds

In addition to plumbing and excavation, Wilfrid David is a general contractor. We take on complete renovation and new construction projects.

New build

The short answer

Wilfrid David, in Chénéville, is also a general contractor in La Petite-Nation: renovations and new builds, from the trench to the finish. We do the excavation and plumbing ourselves, which keeps the job simpler. To talk about your project, call 819-428-3161.

Why a plumber as your general contractor

On a house build or a major renovation, many of the key issues are underground and inside the walls: the foundation, the water and sewer lines, the septic system, the drains and the heating. This is precisely the work we do every day.

When one contractor does both the excavation and the plumbing, there are fewer parties to coordinate and less risk of a trench being dug in the wrong place.

Renovations

A complete bathroom renovation, a basement to finish or a kitchen being relocated almost always involves the plumbing, and often other trades as well. We can coordinate all of the work for you.

For choosing tubs, showers and faucets, our showroom at the store at 77 rue Principale makes these choices easier: you can see the products in person before you decide. For simpler renovation plumbing, see our residential plumbing page.

New builds

Building a new house in the country starts long before the framing: the water supply, septic system, foundation and drain all have to be planned. The Environment ministry's guide also points out that you need a municipal permit for the septic system before building a home that isn't on a sewer. Our septic systems page walks through the steps.

Then come the structure, the plumbing, the heating (for example, a radiant floor in the slab) and the finishing. We recommend involving us early, before excavation begins, while it is still easy to plan where everything goes.

Getting started

You are welcome to bring us your plans, even at the sketch stage. We will review together what is feasible and in what order. Since building permit requirements are set by your municipality, we address this from the start.

We're open Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. You can also reach us through the contact page.

Common questions

Your questions, answered

Is Wilfrid David a general contractor?

Yes. Along with plumbing and excavation, Wilfrid David in Chénéville works as a general contractor on renovations and new builds across La Petite-Nation. The company holds RBQ licence 1842-2873-08.

Do you build new houses?

Yes, from the trench to the finish. Wilfrid David does the excavation and plumbing itself, then handles the rest of the job. We recommend contacting us early, before any work starts.

Why hire a plumber as a general contractor?

Because a good share of what matters on a country build happens underground: water lines, septic, foundation, drains. When the same contractor digs and does the plumbing, coordination is simpler and placement mistakes are rarer.

Do I need a permit to renovate or build?

For a new build, yes, and often for a major renovation as well. Requirements vary by municipality, so check with yours. A house that isn't on a sewer also needs a permit for its septic system.

Can I pick out my bathroom at your store?

Yes. The Wilfrid David store at 77 rue Principale in Chénéville has a bathroom and faucet showroom. You can make your choices there for a renovation or a new house, Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
