Modular in the Le Domaine-du-Roy sector

Quebec's modular manufacturers ship their modules by road across the whole province: no factory needs to be established in the Le Domaine-du-Roy 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 Le Domaine-du-Roy 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 Saguenay--Lac-Saint-Jean. Take the time to compare several offers and validate the RBQ licence.

Frequently asked questions

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