Modular in the Le Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent sector

Quebec's modular manufacturers ship their modules by road across the whole province: no factory needs to be established in the Le Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent 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

Two levels govern construction on this territory. The Le Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent 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 Côte-Nord. Take the time to compare several offers and validate the RBQ licence.
