Modular in the L'Assomption sector

What makes the modular approach relevant in a sector like L'Assomption comes down to one idea: bring the construction to the factory rather than the factory to the job site. Not every municipality on the territory offers a deep pool of contractors, but every one is reachable by road — and that is most of what a modular project needs to be delivered and mounted on its foundation.

Procedures and regulations

Don't look for an "MRC permit": in the L'Assomption 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 Lanaudière. Take the time to compare several offers and validate the RBQ licence.
