Modular construction in Les Moulins

Of the 2 municipalities in the Les Moulins sector, one has a detailed town guide on this site. For the rest of the territory — about 182,848 residents in all — the landmarks of a modular project stay the same: procedures, zoning and picking a manufacturer.

Modular in the Les Moulins sector

Our town guides cover Terrebonne in the sector, among others, and the mechanics they describe hold for the whole Les Moulins 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

The regulations read from the top down: the Les Moulins MRC's land-use plan (schéma d'aménagement) defines the territory's broad vocations, then municipal zoning by-laws spell out, zone by zone, what may be built and how. The permit itself is always requested from the municipality where the lot sits — check the applicable rules with it before moving forward.

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.

Frequently asked questions

What role does the Les Moulins MRC play in a construction project?
The permit application is filed with the municipality, never with the MRC. The MRC instead frames the territory through its land-use plan; zoning, setbacks and permit issuance belong to each of the sector's municipalities.
Do you need to target one of the sector's larger municipalities for a modular project?
Nothing forces you to build in a large municipality. Manufacturers deliver everywhere on the Les Moulins territory; what decides feasibility is the target zone's zoning and road access to the lot — two points to validate with the municipality concerned.
Does a builder need to be based in the Les Moulins sector to deliver there?
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.
