Modular in the Joliette sector

What makes the modular approach relevant in a sector like Joliette comes down to one idea: bring the construction to the factory rather than the factory to the job site. Not every municipality on the territory offers a deep pool of contractors, but every one is reachable by road — and that is most of what a modular project needs to be delivered and mounted on its foundation.

Procedures and regulations

Each municipality in the sector keeps its own siting, setback and use standards, within the frame set by the Joliette MRC's land-use plan. Nothing is uniform from one municipality to the next: before any commitment, verify with the project municipality's planning department that the planned building conforms to the target zone's zoning.

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 Lanaudière. Take the time to compare several offers and validate the RBQ licence.
