Modular in the Acton sector

Quebec's modular manufacturers ship their modules by road across the whole province: no factory needs to be established in the Acton sector to deliver a project there. The building takes shape in the plant while the lot is prepared; what remains is transport, setting on the foundation and the connections — feasible in any municipality of the territory.

Procedures and regulations

Don't look for an "MRC permit": in the Acton sector as everywhere in Quebec, the municipality where the lot sits receives the permit application and applies the zoning. The MRC's role plays out further upstream, through the land-use plan (schéma d'aménagement) that steers the territory's designations. The first concrete step: check with the target municipality what its regulations allow.

Modular builders serving the area

A modular project in the sector does not depend on a local contractor: the building is produced in a factory then moved by road, so most Quebec manufacturers accept deliveries anywhere in the province, including Montérégie. Take the time to compare several offers and validate the RBQ licence.
