Your professional profile. Verified.
DomiSpect keeps each inspector's professional profile — RBQ certificate number, category, validity, insurance — and has it verified by an administrator in your organization. Without a verified profile, DomiSpect warns before signing, and blocks it if your company requires it — automatically from October 1, 2027.

How verification works
You enter your information
First name, last name, RBQ certificate number, category, validity date, certificate and insurance. The company's RBQ profile is kept in Administration; each inspector keeps their own in their settings.
An administrator in your organization verifies
They compare the profile with the documents provided — certificate, insurance — and mark the profile as verified. DomiSpect does not consult the RBQ and queries no database: the verification is administrative, done by your organization, and recorded in the audit log.
Your profile carries a status
Not verified or verified — visible on your profile and in Administration. Your E&O and liability policies carry their own: active, expires in under 60 days, expired, with an alert on the dashboard.
Before signing: a warning today, a lock in 2027
When you sign the report, DomiSpect checks that the inspector's profile is marked verified. Otherwise, it warns you; it blocks signing if your company requires it, and automatically from October 1, 2027, when the inspector certificate becomes mandatory. The inspector's certificate is frozen in the report snapshot, with the timestamped signature and its SHA-256 hash.
What if my profile isn't verified yet?
You work as usual: inspect, photograph, dictate, write, run Review AI. By default, signing remains possible, with a warning. If your company requires verification — and for everyone from October 1, 2027 — the report waits as a complete draft. Once an administrator in your organization marks your profile "verified" — a check against your documents, logged in the audit trail — you sign, with nothing to redo. The portal link is only shared once the report is signed; nothing goes out half done.
Pre-purchase inspection is becoming a certified activity
The RBQ certificate becomes mandatory on October 1, 2027 for inspecting residential buildings in a real-estate transaction. Experienced inspectors have until August 2, 2027 — 12 months from now — to apply through the transitional path.
The transitional path is now closed. The RBQ certificate becomes mandatory on October 1, 2027 — in 2 months — for inspecting residential buildings in a real-estate transaction.
Since October 1, 2027, the RBQ certificate is mandatory for inspecting residential buildings in the context of a real-estate transaction in Quebec.
October 1, 2024
The REIBH comes into force: the three-year transitional period begins for inspectors already in practice.
August 2, 2027
Deadline to apply for the certificate through the transitional path: 3 years of experience (category 1) or 5 years (category 2), documented by your insurance, plus an upgrade training course.
October 1, 2027
The certificate becomes mandatory: categories 1 (residential buildings of 1 to 6 units) and 2 (all residential buildings), $1M or $2M insurance, annual renewal.
How DomiSpect helps you get through the REIBH
- Your certificate profile kept in one place: number, category, validity dates and E&O and liability insurance ($1M cat. 1 / $2M cat. 2), with a dashboard alert 60 days before a policy expires.
- A lock before the signature: the report cannot be signed until the RBQ profile has been verified by your organization.
- Reports structured by the Quebec Residential pack (10 sections, 66 components), whose reference is the BNQ 3009-500 standard cited by the regulation.
- An audit log and a SHA-256 hash on every signed report — useful the day a file is contested.
General information, not legal advice: the official requirements are published by the Régie du bâtiment du Québec.
DomiSpect structures its reports according to Quebec standards and builds in pre-signature checks. The software is neither certified nor approved by the RBQ, the BNQ or ASTM International. The compliance of an inspection remains the professional responsibility of the inspector.
