Depatie Beauchemin Consultants

What Depatie Beauchemin Consultants does

Depatie Beauchemin Consultants (DBC) is a Quebec-based building engineering consulting firm founded in 2015 by Jonas Depatie, ing. and Sean Beauchemin, ing., both members of the Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec (OIQ). The firm provides a full suite of professional engineering services exclusively to condominium syndicates and property managers across the province of Quebec, with offices in Quebec City (headquarters) and Montreal (opened spring 2025). Its core services address two principal Quebec regulatory frameworks: Loi 16 (maintenance log and reserve fund / fonds de prévoyance studies) and Loi 122 (quinquennial facade and multi-level parking structure inspections), complemented by renovation project management (plans, specifications, tendering, site surveillance), water and air infiltration investigations using specialized diagnostic equipment such as infiltrometer doors and thermographic cameras, and common area pre-reception inspections for new condo developments.

The firm's underlying technology centers on building-science diagnostic equipment and the Hoodi software platform, which DBC co-founded to deliver digital maintenance logs and reserve fund studies with client data portability. DBC differentiates on regulatory specialization, OIQ-credentialed engineering talent, and a content-led go-to-market built around blog articles, regulatory summaries, and partnerships with the leading Quebec condo industry associations (RGCQ, CondoLégal, ASCQ).

DBC operates a fee-for-service professional services revenue model with quote-based pricing per engagement (no public rates, no subscription), targeting mid-market condo syndicates and property managers. Since founding, the firm has completed more than 1,500 engineering mandates and served over 2,000 condo syndicates, reporting a 94% client satisfaction rate. Geographic scope is limited to Quebec, with the recent Montreal office and association referral channels representing the primary expansion vectors. The firm remains privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, subsidiaries, or M&A activity.
