Modular in the Charlevoix-Est sector

A traditional job site ties up local trades for months; modular flips that logic. Most of the building is completed in a factory, often outside the Charlevoix-Est sector, before being moved to the project's municipality. On site, only the foundation, assembly and connections remain — a short job-site footprint, welcome in the territory's smallest municipalities.

Procedures and regulations

Each municipality in the sector keeps its own siting, setback and use standards, within the frame set by the Charlevoix-Est 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.
