[Account Closed]

Hello, does anyone with lots of experience in Quebec/canadian 3/4/5 plex have an opinion on these features? in particular, poured concrete, vinyl siding, and electrical heating? strengths/weaknesses of the respective features? thanks,

Russell

Hey Russell! Those types of features are very common in Quebec. You are much better off with a poured concrete foundation, and electric heat should usually have no issues if the wiring is well done. Vinyl is usually relatively low maintenance, the only inconvenience could sometimes be noise when the material expands and contacts, or if the building is in a high wind area.
