Modular construction in Les Collines-de-l'Outaouais

Towns with a local guide

Modular in the Les Collines-de-l'Outaouais sector

Our town guides cover Val-des-Monts, Cantley, La Pêche in the sector, among others, and the mechanics they describe hold for the whole Les Collines-de-l'Outaouais territory: plant fabrication, road transport, erection on a permanent foundation. The approach does not change from one municipality to the next — only the zoning and the conditions of the lot do.

Procedures and regulations

Don't look for an "MRC permit": in the Les Collines-de-l'Outaouais 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 Outaouais. Take the time to compare several offers and validate the RBQ licence.
