Modular construction in Deux-Montagnes

The principle is simple: the modules of your future home take shape in a factory, under a roof, while the foundation is prepared on your lot in Deux-Montagnes. Delivery follows, then assembly on the permanent foundation. On-site work is shortened, and the weather stops being the factor that dictates the schedule.

The real budget for a project in Deux-Montagnes is made up of the building, the land, the foundation, the connections and transport. Each item varies with the lot you choose: a lot served by municipal water is not the same job as one needing a well and septic system. Financing, for its part, works like any other property once the home sits on its foundation.

Permits and regulations in Deux-Montagnes

A factory-built home answers to two frameworks in Deux-Montagnes: CSA A277 certification for everything made in the plant, and the Quebec Building Code (RBQ) plus the local zoning by-law for everything that happens on the lot — mandatory municipal permit, setbacks and height per zone, municipal inspection of on-site work.
