Bergeron Bouthillier Architectes

What Bergeron Bouthillier Architectes does

Bergeron Bouthillier Architectes (legal entity: Bergeron Bouthillier Inc.) is a Quebec-based professional architecture firm headquartered in Terrebonne, founded in 2007 by Claude L. Bergeron and Pierre Bouthillier and incorporated in its current form in 2021. The firm provides comprehensive architectural services across five practice categories: office/commercial, municipal/community, education, healthcare, and asset maintenance (Maintien d'actif), with specialized sub-services in facade, roofing, bathroom block, and HVAC renovations. Its client base is concentrated in Quebec's institutional and public sectors, including Centres de services scolaires (CSSDM, CSSDA, CSS de Laval), municipalities (Laval, Mascouche), the CISSS de Laval, and Desjardins credit unions.

The firm operates a B2B professional services model with project-based fees determined by scope, complexity, and requirements, typically structured as multi-year contracts. GTM is direct enterprise engagement with institutional and public clients, primarily through public procurement (RFP) and established relationships. The firm employs approximately 30 permanent staff led by five partners and uses industry-standard BIM methodology, AutoCAD, Revit, and 3D modeling tools. It has delivered LEED-certified projects (Gold and Silver) and applies a collaborative BIM approach to projects such as the Berge des Baigneurs pavilion in Laval.

The firm is privately held and employee-owned by its five partners, with no external institutional investors, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed funding rounds. It operates exclusively within Quebec and is privately held with no public listing. Successor partner appointments in 2021 (Dulac, Émond, Pagé) and a 2023 brand identity refresh mark a deliberate succession and repositioning phase.
