Simard-Beaudry Construction

Simard-Beaudry Construction was founded in 1950 and became a significant construction company in Quebec. Based in Laval, it specialized in large engineering and civil-infrastructure projects rather than consumer construction services. Its documented areas of work included bridges, roads, dams, urban infrastructure, and water-purification facilities. The company's activities placed it within Quebec's heavy-construction industry, where contractors undertake technically complex projects that can involve public infrastructure, hydraulic systems, transportation networks, and municipal facilities. The available reference material describes Simard-Beaudry as a major company in the province, but does not identify its founder, provide a complete chronology of individual projects, or document all of its corporate affiliations. Businessman Tony Accurso headed Simard-Beaudry Construction during the period covered by the available sources. In September 2010, the company created Prestige Energis, a subsidiary intended to pursue renewable-energy activities. The launch broadened the company's stated scope from traditional construction and engineering into sustainable energy, although the available material does not establish the subsidiary's later operations or commercial results. In December 2010, Simard-Beaudry Construction Inc. pleaded guilty to tax evasion. The case involved false expense claims, including invoices for services that were not actually performed and expenses associated with renovations to Accurso's 119-foot yacht. The company was reported to have claimed fictitious work as business expenses, avoiding approximately $400,000 in taxes. It paid fines exceeding $4.1 million. The conviction and financial penalty became a major part of the company's public record. The supplied sources do not establish whether Simard-Beaudry Construction remains active, was dissolved, or was absorbed into another company. They also do not provide a verified current website, ownership structure, or present-day executive team. Its current corporate status therefore remains unresolved.
