Modular construction in Pierre-De Saurel

Located in Montérégie, the Pierre-De Saurel MRC groups 12 municipalities for about 53,897 residents. Permits, zoning, module transport: the big questions of a modular project are settled municipality by municipality here — this is where to start.

Modular in the Pierre-De Saurel sector

With some 53,897 residents, the Pierre-De Saurel 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

The regulations read from the top down: the Pierre-De Saurel 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 Montérégie. Take the time to compare several offers and validate the RBQ licence.

Frequently asked questions

Who should I contact for a permit in the Pierre-De Saurel 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.
Do you need to target one of the sector's larger municipalities for a modular project?
Nothing forces you to build in a large municipality. Manufacturers deliver everywhere on the Pierre-De Saurel territory; what decides feasibility is the target zone's zoning and road access to the lot — two points to validate with the municipality concerned.
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.
