Modular in the Arthabaska sector

With some 77,616 residents, the Arthabaska sector ranks among the most populous territories covered by our sector pages. Modular answers the same needs here as anywhere: produce the building in a factory, away from job-site hazards, then assemble it on a permanent foundation in the project's municipality.

Procedures and regulations

Don't look for an "MRC permit": in the Arthabaska 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 Centre-du-Québec. Take the time to compare several offers and validate the RBQ licence.

Frequently asked questions

What role does the Arthabaska MRC play in a construction project?
Count on two contacts: the municipality for your lot's permit and zoning, and the Arthabaska MRC for the broad planning orientations. In practice, the municipality is almost always the one answering your project questions.
Do you need to target one of the sector's larger municipalities for a modular project?
Nothing forces you to build in a large municipality. Manufacturers deliver everywhere on the Arthabaska territory; what decides feasibility is the target zone's zoning and road access to the lot — two points to validate with the municipality concerned.
Where do the modular homes delivered to the sector come from?
Modules come from factories located all over Quebec and travel by truck to the project's municipality. The right criterion is therefore not how close the factory is, but the quality of the offer: request several detailed proposals and confirm the manufacturer's RBQ licence.
