Commercial masonry
From factories and warehouses to retail outlets, office buildings and shopping centres, our masons build facades and walls that respect the schedule. On a commercial job site, timelines are often tight and several trades work at the same time: coordination with the general contractor makes all the difference.
- Storefront and office building facades
- Warehouses and industrial buildings
- Retail outlets and shopping centres
Institutional masonry
Schools, sports centres, government buildings: the requirements are stricter. Rigorous technical specifications, seismic requirements and building codes specific to public buildings frame every step. Maçonnerie JML was notably involved in the expansion of the Châteauguay multisport centre.
- Schools and sports centres
- Government buildings and public facilities
- New construction and renovation

Frequently asked questions about commercial and institutional masonry
Commercial work (storefronts, warehouses, office buildings) is driven by tight schedules and coordination between trades. Institutional work (schools, government buildings) adds rigorous technical specifications, seismic requirements and building codes specific to public buildings.
These projects rely on rigorous technical specifications and on the building codes for public buildings, including seismic requirements. Our masons are used to reading architectural and engineering plans, and we let you know before work begins if adjustments are needed to meet standards or improve durability.
After the site visit, we set a clear schedule with specific milestones. A site supervisor oversees progress, and regular site meetings are scheduled with the general contractor and other stakeholders.
