FAQ
Why is the Commission de la construction du Québec (CCQ) undertaking this digital transformation?
The CCQ needs to update its obsolete IT systems. This project is therefore essential to ensuring our systems remain reliable and secure.
We’re also taking advantage of the situation to improve the online services to make them more efficient and give you greater control over processes that you’ll be able to track more easily. These changes will also minimize the risk of errors and reduce paper waste.
What are the main advantages of the Chantier numériccq?
The first phase of the project is scheduled to be launched in January 2026. It will significantly improve many features. For instance, you will be able to:
This step marks the beginning of a project that will evolve over time. New tools and features will gradually be added to continue to improve your user experience and meet your needs.
When will the improved online services be available?
The improved online services are scheduled to become available on January 12, 2026.
Do I have to create a new account in January 2026?
Yes. Starting in January 2026, every user will have to create a new account to continue to access the online services. It will also be required to submit the monthly report in the improved online services.
Why do I need to create a new account?
Because the IT system will be overhauled, your account will not be transferred. By creating a new account, you’ll be able to log in to the new system. The good news is that the first time you log in to the new online services, you’ll be able to link your client file and recover all your information. Simple tutorial videos will guide you.
What if I don’t currently have an account for the online services?
You have until December 3, 2025, to register for the online services in order to receive the security code necessary to finalize the process of logging in to your account before December 17. After this date, you will have to wait until January 2026 to create a user account.
If you already made a request and received your login information, you have until December 17 to finalize your registration.
Will changing the IT systems have an impact on my regular services?
In a large digital project such as this one, customer service response times may be longer than usual and technical adjustments to your file may be required. The customer service team will assist you to the best of their ability during this transition and additional support will be available. You will receive more information soon.
Most of your services will remain the same. However, they will be simplified thanks to new tools.
A short transition period will be required because the layout will be different than the one you are used to, but some changes will be made progressively. Rest assured that we’ll be here to guide you every step of the way.

Why is the CCQ updating the monthly report?
The monthly report is an essential tool for employers in the construction industry. The goal of this project is to make it easier to use, minimize the risk of errors, and optimize how the information is processed.
By allowing users to have a clearer overview of the report and automating certain tasks, the monthly reports will be easier and quicker to fill out.
What are the main changes being made to the monthly report?
What you can expect:
When will the new version of the monthly report be available?
Will I have to use the modernized monthly report?
Yes, you will have to use it once it is launched. The modernized monthly report will be the only version available, and all monthly reports will have to be submitted electronically.
The goal is to streamline the administrative and regulatory aspects. You can also use an approved payroll provider. Check the list of our approved partners.
How will this affect the way I manage my monthly reports?
Will I be able to continue using my accounting software or working with an accounting firm to submit my report?
Who will be authorized to access my monthly reports?
Whom do I contact if I have a problem with the modernized monthly report?
You can contact our help line for employers at 1 877 973-5383 or your employer association.
Videos will also be available on the Chantier numériccq website to assist you in completing or amending a monthly report.
Will I have to create an account in the improved online services to submit my monthly report?
If you do not work with a services provider approved by the CCQ, you will have to create an account to submit your monthly report.
Moreover, starting in January 2026, any changes will have to be made in the client file. Creating an account will therefore be mandatory.

What will happen to the monthly report for October?
The monthly report for October must be submitted through the online services or via a service provider.

Can I create an account in the online services at any time?
Why can’t I create an account in the online services after December 3?
You will not be able to create an account after December 3, 2025, because the process currently requires a security code to be sent to you by mail.
You will need this security code to finalize your registration. December 3 is the last day you can register and receive the code to finalize your registration before the online services are suspended on December 17, 2025.

What will change for accounting firms with the launch of the improved online services on January 12, 2026?
Effective January 12, 2026, your accounting firm will have its own client file. A contact person must be designated before December 12, 2025, to log in to the client file for the first time.
Your client file will be linked to the employers that have designated your organization as their accounting firm. The employers linked to you and for whom you are authorized to act (e.g., submit a monthly report) will be grouped together in a single file. The purpose is to make follow ups and updating your file (contact information, members of your personnel, etc.) easier.
What are the advantages of having a client file in the improved online services?
Who can be appointed as the designated contact for our new client file?
What will be the designated person's role once the services are launched on January 12, 2026?
This new position in the accounting firm will play a key role in the success of the launch of the improved online services. The person designated will be the firm’s primary point of contact and will receive the information they need to log in once the services are launched.
This person will also manage your firm’s authorizations.
I am the designated contact. What are my responsibilities?
As the designated contact, you will be in charge of:
What happens if no one has been designated? Will I still be able to submit monthly reports?
Do I have to register for each company?
One client file will be created per company name and address. For instance, if you operate under the name Accounting Inc. and you have three (3) businesses operating under the same name, three separate files will be created.
Another example: if you operate under two different names (ex.: Accounting Inc. and Accountants Inc.) with the same address, two separate files will be created.
Will there be any changes to how monthly reports are submitted?
Will the firm be able to use accounting software to submit monthly reports?
Yes. But make sure the accounting firm or software you use is in our list of approved providers.
Other conditions:
Will I have access to my clients’ files, or will the service only be used to submit monthly reports?
By creating your user account and linking it to your firm’s file, you will have access to your file and your employers’ file for whom you are authorized to act. (A person from the firm must have granted you access to the employer file).
Please note that if your firm provides site identification services, statements of account, and labour management for your clients, you will not be able to log in to them as a contact in the firm’s file. The persons responsible for these services must be added by the employer directly within their file (the firm’s designated contact must ask the employer for authorization).
However, if these persons were already listed as contacts (secondary users) in the employer’s file, they will be able to access it by linking their file to their user account by clicking on “Utiliser mes accès des anciens services en ligne”.
If I work for an accounting firm, how can I log in once the services are launched?
Your firm’s designated contact will add you to the list of persons authorized to access the firm’s file. You will receive the details by email. You will then have to create a user account in the online services and link your firm’s file.
Make sure all your employer files appear in “Mes dossiers autorisés”. If any are missing, contact the person designated.
If my accounting firm has not designated a contact person, what do we do?
Where can I get support?
