Code de construction du Québec, cited answers in seconds.

CodesWise indexes the Code de construction du Québec, Chapitre I, Bâtiment (2020 + 2015 editions still enforced for legacy projects), alongside the National Plumbing Code that Québec adopts by reference and the National Codes for cross-references. Built for bilingual project teams who need answers in either French or English.

What it actually changes

Québec's Code de construction is published primarily in French, but project teams routinely include English-speaking consultants from Ontario or out of country. Switching between the French primary text and English consultant questions burns time, and the RBQ enforces specific Québec-only amendments that drift from the National Codes.

Where CodesWise earns its keep

CCQ vs national differences

Québec amends the NBC in distinctive ways (sound transmission, secondary suites, accessibility). The engine surfaces CCQ chunks first for Québec users and falls back to NBC where Québec did not amend.

Bilingual project teams

Ask a question in English; get a cited answer that points at the French CCQ clause. Voyage-3 embeddings handle French and English equally well.

Montréal and Québec City plan review

RBQ enforces the same code across the province. Cited answers are consistent across municipal AHJs.

Legacy 2015-edition projects

The 2015 edition of CCQ-Ch.I remains in force for projects under the 18-month transition window for the April 2025 amendment package. Both editions are indexed.
