Modular in the La Rivière-du-Nord sector

With some 150,820 residents, the La Rivière-du-Nord 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

Each municipality in the sector keeps its own siting, setback and use standards, within the frame set by the La Rivière-du-Nord 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 Laurentides. Take the time to compare several offers and validate the RBQ licence.

Frequently asked questions

Does the La Rivière-du-Nord MRC or the municipality issue the building permit?
Count on two contacts: the municipality for your lot's permit and zoning, and the La Rivière-du-Nord MRC for the broad planning orientations. In practice, the municipality is almost always the one answering your project questions.
Can a modular home be installed in a village of the La Rivière-du-Nord sector?
Yes, as long as the target zone's zoning allows it and a municipal permit is issued. The municipality's size is not a barrier: modules arrive by road and assembly requires little local labour. Check the zoning by-law with the municipality before buying the lot.
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.
