Modular construction in Les Maskoutains

Of the 17 municipalities in the Les Maskoutains sector, one has a detailed town guide on this site. For the rest of the territory — about 94,473 residents in all — the landmarks of a modular project stay the same: procedures, zoning and picking a manufacturer.

Modular in the Les Maskoutains sector

Quebec's modular manufacturers ship their modules by road across the whole province: no factory needs to be established in the Les Maskoutains 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 Les Maskoutains 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 Montérégie. Take the time to compare several offers and validate the RBQ licence.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Les Maskoutains MRC or the municipality issue the building permit?
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 Les Maskoutains sector?
Nothing forces you to build in a large municipality. Manufacturers deliver everywhere on the Les Maskoutains territory; what decides feasibility is the target zone's zoning and road access to the lot — two points to validate with the municipality concerned.
How do I choose a manufacturer for a project in the Les Maskoutains sector?
No. Quebec factories ship their modules across the entire province, Les Maskoutains sector included. Compare several manufacturers on the complete project cost — building, transport, foundation, connections — and make sure the company holds a valid RBQ licence.
