Get every active construction contractor licence in Quebec from the official Régie du bâtiment du Québec (RBQ) registry — as clean, structured data. Licence number, company name, trade names, NEQ, address, region, phone, email, licence categories and trade classes, bond amount and restrictions.
Data comes from the official RBQ open dataset (CC-BY 4.0, refreshed daily). No scraping of private sites, no legal grey zone.
Why you'd use it
- B2B lead generation — every licensed roofer, plumber, excavator or GC in a region, with phone numbers and emails. Filter by trade class and city.
- New contractor leads — incremental mode returns only licences that appeared since your last run: brand-new construction businesses, first on the market.
- Contractor verification / due diligence — check licence status, restrictions, trade classes and bond before hiring or insuring.
- Enrichment for building permits — pairs with Building Permits Canada by the same author: permits tell you who's building, licences tell you who's licensed for what.
