A facade inspection report must then be filed with the city listing the building as Safe, Safe With a Repair and Maintenance Program (SWARMP), or Unsafe. Under FISP, the engineer/architect must conduct a hands-on inspection along at least one of the building’s street-facing facades.

In order to protect the public’s safety, the RBQ has implemented Bill 122, which requires a thorough facade inspection under the direction of an engineer who is a member of the “Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec” (OIQ) of all buildings with 5 floors or more.

What is Genispec’s expertise in facade inspections?

Genispec specializes in facade and structural inspections and our team of expert engineers, members of the OIQ, carry out thorough inspections of facades in accordance with the RBQ’s Bill 122. Thanks to our rope access inspection method, we are able to offer you a complete facade inspection at a low cost, which includes intrusive inspections (openings) when necessary. Our engineers are available to guide you through the process of implementing a facade maintenance program with a view to preventing any defects which could present a risk to the public or the development of any hazardous condition which can later compromise the safety of the public.

What are the obligations of Bill 122 of the RBQ with regards to facade inspections?

As stipulated by Bill 122 of the RBQ, it is the responsibility of building owners to obtain a facade inspection report from an engineer every five years. This report must certify that the facades of the building in question are in good condition and do not present a risk. The facade inspection report provided by our engineers includes a detailed description of the observations and provides recommendations for correcting defects that could possibly contribute to the development of dangerous conditions.

Any facade inspection report produced by Genispec’s engineers includes:
