Modular in the Portneuf sector

Our town guides cover Saint-Raymond, Pont-Rouge, Donnacona in the sector, among others, and the mechanics they describe hold for the whole Portneuf territory: plant fabrication, road transport, erection on a permanent foundation. The approach does not change from one municipality to the next — only the zoning and the conditions of the lot do.

Procedures and regulations

Each municipality in the sector keeps its own siting, setback and use standards, within the frame set by the Portneuf 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 Capitale-Nationale. Take the time to compare several offers and validate the RBQ licence.

Frequently asked questions

What role does the Portneuf MRC play in a construction project?
The permit application is filed with the municipality, never with the MRC. The MRC instead frames the territory through its land-use plan; zoning, setbacks and permit issuance belong to each of the sector's municipalities.
Is modular realistic in the sector's smallest municipalities?
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.
Does a builder need to be based in the Portneuf sector to deliver there?
No. Quebec factories ship their modules across the entire province, Portneuf sector included. Compare several manufacturers on the complete project cost — building, transport, foundation, connections — and make sure the company holds a valid RBQ licence.
