Modular in the Kamouraska sector

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

The regulations read from the top down: the Kamouraska MRC's land-use plan (schéma d'aménagement) defines the territory's broad vocations, then municipal zoning by-laws spell out, zone by zone, what may be built and how. The permit itself is always requested from the municipality where the lot sits — check the applicable rules with it before moving forward.

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 Bas-Saint-Laurent. Take the time to compare several offers and validate the RBQ licence.

Frequently asked questions

Who should I contact for a permit in the Kamouraska sector?
The permit always comes from the municipality where the lot sits, which also applies its zoning by-law. The MRC acts upstream: its land-use plan (schéma d'aménagement) sets the territory's broad designations. So speak to your municipality's planning department.
Can a modular home be installed in a village of the Kamouraska sector?
Nothing forces you to build in a large municipality. Manufacturers deliver everywhere on the Kamouraska territory; what decides feasibility is the target zone's zoning and road access to the lot — two points to validate with the municipality concerned.
Does a builder need to be based in the Kamouraska sector to deliver there?
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.
