Modular construction in Les Coteaux

In Les Coteaux, as in nearby municipalities (Saint-Lazare, Pincourt), a modular project follows the same path: factory fabrication sheltered from the weather, transport, then assembly on a permanent foundation. Because so much of the work happens before anything reaches the lot, site and weather risks are reduced.

On top of the building price, a project in Les Coteaux carries off-factory costs: the land, the foundation, the connections — water and sewer, or well and septic depending on the sector — and module transport. That total is what you should compare from one builder to the next. On a permanent foundation, the home then finances like any other property.
