Modular construction in L'Île-Perrot

As elsewhere in the Vaudreuil-Soulanges MRC, residential projects in L'Île-Perrot most often happen on private land — the context where the modular approach makes the most sense. The home is factory-built, sheltered from the weather, then transported and assembled on a permanent foundation, reducing time spent on site accordingly.

Comparing factory prices alone would be misleading: a project in L'Île-Perrot also includes the land, the foundation, the connections and transporting the modules to the municipality. The good news on financing — once on its foundation, a modular home is treated like any other residence.
