NANTEL Consultant

What NANTEL Consultant does

NANTEL Consultant is a privately held architectural design firm founded in 2005 by Jonathan Nantel and headquartered in Mirabel, Quebec. The firm provides professional architectural design services — terrain analysis, preliminary sketches, floor plans, 3D perspectives, and permit-ready technical construction documents — for custom single-family homes, renovations, expansions, and select multi-unit residential, mixed-use, and commercial buildings. Core technology is conventional architectural design tooling, with 3D perspective visualization offered as a standard deliverable to help clients validate aesthetic and spatial decisions before construction. The firm is led by Jonathan Nantel (President, engineer and professional architectural technologist) and Véronique Vincent (Vice President and General Manager), supported by three architectural technologists (Éric Noël Sénéchal, Loïc Carrière, Makayla Lapointe), giving a total stated headcount of five.

The business model is professional services on a project-based, non-recurring basis, with fees structured around project scope, complexity, and staged design deliverables. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is direct and relationship-driven: prospective clients reach out via the website contact form, phone, or email, complete a questionnaire, and proceed to an in-person or videoconference kickoff meeting. Marketing channels include the company website, Facebook, Instagram, client referrals, and professional affiliations with the Ordre des technologues professionnels du Québec and the Ordre des ingénieurs.

In 2020, NANTEL Consultant entered a strategic partnership with ZN Architecture (led by architect Alain Zarka), which operates a second office in Chambly and handles larger-scale multi-unit residential, commercial, and industrial projects. Together the two affiliated firms cover the full spectrum of regional architectural needs across the Laurentides, Greater Montreal, and Rive-Sud markets. The firm has no disclosed external funding, operates as a privately held entity under founder control, and reports no revenue figures publicly.
