How it started

It all started simply. Two guys from Quebec, two buddies, with the same observations on the job site: material bills that keep climbing, prices that swing wildly from one store to the next, and above all, a lack of simple tools to help people pay a fair price.

We looked at each other and said: there is no way this should be so complicated.

That is where bâtirarabais.ca came from.

What we are building

With bâtirarabais.ca, we are working on a new way of doing things:

• Easily compare prices across the big hardware chains in Quebec.

• Build smart shopping plans to cut costs.

• Avoid overpaying for the same materials.

• Let everyone stretch their budget, with no compromise on quality.

Our philosophy

We are not claiming to reinvent construction. We just want to make it more accessible, more transparent and, above all, more sensible.

Because in the end, every dollar saved on materials is a dollar you can invest elsewhere: in your project, in your family or in your dreams.

We are at the start of something. A simple idea, driven by real values: help, simplify and save people money.

Welcome to a new way to build.

Alexandre Pelletier

Electrician and real estate investor. After countless Saturdays spent at the hardware store, I know most of the clerks by their first name. We are building the tool we always wished we had.

We wanted a tool we would use ourselves. That is what Bâtir à Rabais became.

Simon Lafortune

A homeowner in Sainte-Julienne, I take on my own projects: patio, basement, shed. Every time, I feel like I am paying too much for my materials without knowing where to find better close to home. Bâtir à Rabais is the tool I wish I had for my own renovations.

Too many Saturdays lost shopping around without knowing if I was paying the right price. I decided to put a stop to it.
