Modular in the La Vallée-du-Richelieu sector

With some 137,068 residents, the La Vallée-du-Richelieu sector ranks among the most populous territories covered by our sector pages. Modular answers the same needs here as anywhere: produce the building in a factory, away from job-site hazards, then assemble it on a permanent foundation in the project's municipality.

Procedures and regulations

Two levels govern construction on this territory. The La Vallée-du-Richelieu MRC adopts the regional land-use plan (schéma d'aménagement), which sets broad land designations across the sector; each municipality, for its part, issues building permits and applies its own zoning by-law. Before buying land or signing with a manufacturer, check with the municipality concerned what the target zone allows.

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 Montérégie. Take the time to compare several offers and validate the RBQ licence.

Frequently asked questions

What role does the La Vallée-du-Richelieu MRC play in a construction project?
Count on two contacts: the municipality for your lot's permit and zoning, and the La Vallée-du-Richelieu 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?
The municipality's population changes nothing about feasibility: as long as the road reaches the lot and the zoning permits the planned residential use, a modular project can happen there. The check to make remains local — with the municipality, before any commitment.
Where do the modular homes delivered to the sector come from?
Modules come from factories located all over Quebec and travel by truck to the project's municipality. The right criterion is therefore not how close the factory is, but the quality of the offer: request several detailed proposals and confirm the manufacturer's RBQ licence.
