For homeowners
Services for homeowners in Quebec, New Brunswick, the N.W.T. and Nunavut
JPC Consultants inc. offers services for homeowners in Quebec City and across Quebec, mainly for retaining walls and the stabilization of slopes and embankments.
When to call us
Worried about your wall or your slope?
More and more homeowners near waterways, or affected by water, need to raise, design or repair a retaining wall or a slope.
We keep the process simple and step by step: a free phone discussion, a preliminary opinion with a site visit if needed, then design and supervision as you choose.
We can also support you with your permit applications. Note that we do not prepare permit applications ourselves, because each municipality has its own criteria.
If we believe the project is not viable, we will tell you. We always work with the goal of making your project a success.
We design all kinds of retaining walls: gabions, reinforced soil, concrete blocks, rock walls and more. We present the options that suit your property, with their pros and cons.

Understanding
Why consult an engineer about your wall?
A retaining wall holds back the soil on your property. When it moves, leans or cracks, it is best to get an opinion before the situation gets worse.
Properties near a waterway, or affected by water, are especially concerned: raising, designing or repairing a wall or a slope calls for a solution suited to the site.
The first phone discussion is free. It tells you whether a visit and a preliminary opinion make sense for your situation.
For permit applications, we can support you, but you submit the application yourself. Each municipality has its own criteria.
