What Équipe Laurence does

Équipe Laurence is a privately held civil engineering consulting firm headquartered in Sainte-Adèle, Quebec, founded in 1983. The firm delivers comprehensive engineering services across 14 core practice areas, including municipal infrastructure (roads, water, sewer, drainage), building infrastructure, real estate development, public network integration, recreotourism, mining, topographic surveying, parks and green spaces, process mechanics, MTMD-compliant road design, soil stabilization, mobility and traffic engineering, First Nations infrastructure, and grant program support. Specialized capabilities include LEED-certified green building engineering, Carbon Zero industrial park design (notably Canada's first at Écoparc Saint-Bruno), and innovative hydrothermal heating/cooling systems demonstrated at the firm's own new headquarters built 2021-2022. The firm operates from nine offices across Quebec and serves more than 150 municipalities alongside private-sector clients.

The firm's technology stack centers on PCSWMM for hydrological and hydraulic modeling and BIM (Building Information Modeling) for integrated project delivery. It produces differentiated technical outputs including permeable paving systems, sustainable drainage design, contaminated soil remediation, and energy-efficient hydrothermal systems achieving 32% better energy performance than comparable buildings. The firm has received multiple industry recognitions including Canadian Property Awards (2019), LEED Or certification for Bibliothèque Pierrefonds (2022), and a Prix Coup de Cœur from the AAPPQ (2021).

Équipe Laurence operates a sales-led, project-based business model. Revenue is generated through fixed-fee engineering consulting contracts won via competitive bidding with municipal governments, school boards, healthcare institutions (CISSS), regional transit authorities (STL), and private developers (Groupe Montoni, EMD-Bâtimo/Chartwell). The firm also serves as subcontractor to larger engineering firms such as BPA (Bouthillette Parizeau) and ASDR on major institutional and mining projects. No public pricing exists; engagements are scoped per project. The firm is privately held with no disclosed external ownership, no funding rounds, no M&A activity, and no public listing.
