The design is intended for a 10-bed facility, with future phases planned to expand from 10 to 20 and beyond and will include geotechnical, architectural, civil, structural, electrical and mechanical services.

This project entails repairing showers and janitors' closets, as water had infiltrated several walls following a major water leak. This includes demolishing the toilet (shower, sink, ceramics) and completely redoing it.

This roof renovation project entails removing the shingles, inspecting the wooden joists and, if necessary, installing new joists, sloping the roof and covering an area of ​​3,373 ft2 with an protective membrane. In recent months, the Community Residential Center (CRC) at Résidence Carpe Diem has experienced some water damage related to the roof. This occurred in the office of a staff member, in a common area on the 1st floor and in a bedroom as well. Last summer, an intervention by an exterminator (ants) revealed that the wood of the roof was in poor condition. Following these incidents, temporary repairs were carried out while a full assessment of the roof could be completed. This assessment, carried out in May, confirmed that the roof had to be completely redone.

The project involves changing the entire fire alarm system as soon as possible in order to comply with the new building code and fire standards. It is impossible to obtain parts necessary for repair due to the fact that the system is obsolete and old.

The project entails replacing the basement and corridor floors, and replacing the CRC's interior staircase. The current floor is deteriorating and due for a refresh. The staircase is no longer up to standard and needs to be replaced to ensure safety for people with reduced mobility.

The project entails the installation of at least three (3) heat pump units on the first floor (air conditioning and heating), as well as an air exchanger on the first floor and basement. These improvements will have a positive effect on the health and safety of residents and staff, by promoting a better environment and comfort, and the air exchanger will reduce the spread of viruses such as colds and flu.

The project entails custom window construction, installation of high-voltage wire protection, window stripping and scrap disposal, window framing rebuilding, installation of waterproofing membranes around windows, installation of new windows, window sealing (caulking) and repair of earthwork damage caused by the work.

The cost of the project will mainly be for the purchase or upgrade of IT equipment and solutions aimed at security, professional fees, and the workforce assigned to the project. One of CSC's priorities is the safety of staff, offenders and victims. It is certain that by ensuring better protection of sensitive information with more secure hardware and computer systems, we promote confidentiality and maintain the integrity of information, thus ensuring the safety of staff, offenders and victims who could be threatened by the loss or sharing of protected or confidential information.

This project entails restoring the stones on the entire front of the building, installation of a weather barrier on the building's existing wood structure, replacement of st-marc stone sills, fabrication of four (4) new balcony structures, installation of a soffit under the balconies, installation of a double-relief fascia around the perimeter of the balconies. Large stones began to detach from the front of the building.

The purpose of this project is to hire a professional to verify all standards related to the Safety Code under the Building Act, and to make the modifications deemed essential. This includes changing the slats on the emergency steps on the rear balconies, and ensuring that the emergency doors remain functional and up to standard.
