Modular construction in Sept-Rivières

Towns with a local guide

Modular in the Sept-Rivières sector

Quebec's modular manufacturers ship their modules by road across the whole province: no factory needs to be established in the Sept-Rivières 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

Don't look for an "MRC permit": in the Sept-Rivières sector as everywhere in Quebec, the municipality where the lot sits receives the permit application and applies the zoning. The MRC's role plays out further upstream, through the land-use plan (schéma d'aménagement) that steers the territory's designations. The first concrete step: check with the target municipality what its regulations allow.

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 Côte-Nord. Take the time to compare several offers and validate the RBQ licence.
