Modular in the Chaudière-Appalaches sector

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

The regulations read from the top down: the Chaudière-Appalaches MRC's land-use plan (schéma d'aménagement) defines the territory's broad vocations, then municipal zoning by-laws spell out, zone by zone, what may be built and how. The permit itself is always requested from the municipality where the lot sits — check the applicable rules with it before moving forward.

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 Chaudière-Appalaches. Take the time to compare several offers and validate the RBQ licence.
