Modular in the Drummond sector

Quebec's modular manufacturers ship their modules by road across the whole province: no factory needs to be established in the Drummond 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

Two levels govern construction on this territory. The Drummond MRC adopts the regional land-use plan (schéma d'aménagement), which sets broad land designations across the sector; each municipality, for its part, issues building permits and applies its own zoning by-law. Before buying land or signing with a manufacturer, check with the municipality concerned what the target zone allows.

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 Drummond MRC play in a construction project?
Count on two contacts: the municipality for your lot's permit and zoning, and the Drummond 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 Drummond 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?
No. Quebec factories ship their modules across the entire province, Drummond sector included. Compare several manufacturers on the complete project cost — building, transport, foundation, connections — and make sure the company holds a valid RBQ licence.
