To avoid delays and disappointment caused by the rejection of your exterior renovation project, we recommend that you choose among the colors, materials and window models previously authorized by the municipal council.

Please note that black is not one of these options, and we recommend that you opt for other colors.

We invite you to consult the Saint-Lambert Guide to Authorized Colours, Materials and Window Models (in French). This guide is intended to help owners, architects and contractors in their interventions on the city's territory to preserve Saint-Lambert's built heritage and avoid the project approval process by the municipal council provided for in the Site planning and architectural integration programs (commonly referred to by the French acronym, PIIA).

Les travaux sont souvent complexes et requièrent plusieurs intervenants. Même lorsque vous aurez votre permis de construction, vos démarches auprès de la Ville ne seront peut-être pas terminées. Prévoyez-les pour éviter un délai!

In Saint-Lambert, you must obtain a certificate of temporary occupation of the public domain if you wish to :

• install temporary shelters, site fences, containers, scaffolding or a debris chute on the public thoroughfare;
• reserve a parking space for a contractor;
• close the public thoroughfare for work.

According to the Nuisance By-law 2006-19 - section 4, street deposit is not permitted. Under no circumstances may you deposit equipment, materials or debris on a public domain.

The public domain includes streets, alleys, sidewalks, bike paths, medians, public squares and parks.
