Modular construction in Rimouski-Neigette

Of the 9 municipalities in the Rimouski-Neigette sector, one has a detailed town guide on this site. For the rest of the territory — about 60,065 residents in all — the landmarks of a modular project stay the same: procedures, zoning and picking a manufacturer.

Modular in the Rimouski-Neigette sector

Our town guides cover Rimouski in the sector, among others, and the mechanics they describe hold for the whole Rimouski-Neigette 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 Rimouski-Neigette 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 Bas-Saint-Laurent. Take the time to compare several offers and validate the RBQ licence.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Rimouski-Neigette MRC or the municipality issue the building permit?
Count on two contacts: the municipality for your lot's permit and zoning, and the Rimouski-Neigette MRC for the broad planning orientations. In practice, the municipality is almost always the one answering your project questions.
Do you need to target one of the sector's larger municipalities for a modular project?
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.
How do I choose a manufacturer for a project in the Rimouski-Neigette sector?
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.
