Firm profile<\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>With its creative energy and its broad expertise, ACDF designs inspiring spaces in which North American pragmatism meets European flamboyance.

Since joining ACDF in 2008, Mr. Laplante-Courchesne has developed a strong expertise through his work on several large-scale projects. As partner, he leads the production teams for all of the firm\u2019s projects. His systemic management approach is based in a broad and comprehensive understanding of the project\u2019s interrelated parameters and stakeholders. This management philosophy strengthens the multidisciplinary teams\u2019 agility. It has allowed the development of complex projects meeting the planned budgets and deadlines, such as the S\u00e9lection Panorama in Ste-Doroth\u00e9e, the Hotel Monville in Montreal, the District Union development in Terrebonne and a large spectrum of various mixed-used projects. Mr. Laplante-Courchesne works closely with the design team to create construction details that take into account the project\u2019s original design, financial goals and building constraints.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
