Rheault Construction's vision is to combine quality, affordable, eco-friendly services to make your home more cost-efficient, sustainable and comfortable.
But did you know that we offer much more?
By choosing to include an eco-friendly procedure that is more sustainable, we are also choosing to:
- Protect the environment, communities, natural areas and forests.
- Limit ozone depletion.
- Create local and regional jobs.
- Promote growth in the Quebec market.
- Improve the efficiency and autonomy of your home and land.
- Increase your level of comfort.
- Prevent health problems or maintain your health.
- Ensure a better quality of life for future generations.
- Save on electricity, gas, time, energy and money.
Of course, we are well aware that each project comes with its own budget and priorities set according to available resources. What if your choices could be both luxurious and environmentally responsible?
Here are a few environmentally responsible decisions along with their pros and cons*:
LED lighting, dimmers or timers
- Easier to manage lights
- Increased comfort

* The main disadvantage for each option is the initial financial investment. Choices must therefore be made according to your budget and priorities. In truth, while they do offer a positive financial return, it would be false to claim that all eco-friendly solutions offer short-term financial advantages.
Simple ideas for an environmentally responsible vision and home!
In short, when you purchase a new home, although budgets are fixed and often limited, you have the opportunity to adapt certain options to your reality and to consider the long and short-term positive returns on investment, both in financial terms and relating to the autonomy of your home.

Our team will guide you through the process to weigh the pros and cons of each option and help you make the decisions that are right for you!
