Construction of an IKEA in Quebec City

Construction and Finishing

We received the mandate to build and finish the IKEA store in Quebec City totalling 32,118 m² (the equivalent of five soccer fields).

The store included these elements:

• Restaurant.
• Two kitchens.
• Exhibition hall.
• Market.
• Children's playroom.
• Offices.
• Break rooms.
• Large parking lot.
• Warehouse.

We used BIM technology from the outset of the design phase, performing a constructability analysis of the modelled elements. We also validated the basic construction concepts for each project component.

This analysis enabled us to optimize and ensure the quality of the design documents issued in batches for tenders. It also allowed us to identify major design problems, which were subsequently analyzed and corrected by professionals.
