Modular in the Deux-Montagnes sector

Quebec's modular manufacturers ship their modules by road across the whole province: no factory needs to be established in the Deux-Montagnes 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 Deux-Montagnes 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 Laurentides. Take the time to compare several offers and validate the RBQ licence.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Deux-Montagnes MRC or the municipality issue the building permit?
Count on two contacts: the municipality for your lot's permit and zoning, and the Deux-Montagnes MRC for the broad planning orientations. In practice, the municipality is almost always the one answering your project questions.
Do you need to target one of the sector's larger municipalities for a modular project?
Yes, as long as the target zone's zoning allows it and a municipal permit is issued. The municipality's size is not a barrier: modules arrive by road and assembly requires little local labour. Check the zoning by-law with the municipality before buying the lot.
Where do the modular homes delivered to the sector come from?
No. Quebec factories ship their modules across the entire province, Deux-Montagnes sector included. Compare several manufacturers on the complete project cost — building, transport, foundation, connections — and make sure the company holds a valid RBQ licence.
