Modular in the Maskinongé sector

A traditional job site ties up local trades for months; modular flips that logic. Most of the building is completed in a factory, often outside the Maskinongé sector, before being moved to the project's municipality. On site, only the foundation, assembly and connections remain — a short job-site footprint, welcome in the territory's smallest municipalities.

Procedures and regulations

Each municipality in the sector keeps its own siting, setback and use standards, within the frame set by the Maskinongé MRC's land-use plan. Nothing is uniform from one municipality to the next: before any commitment, verify with the project municipality's planning department that the planned building conforms to the target zone's zoning.

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

Frequently asked questions

What role does the Maskinongé MRC play in a construction project?
The permit always comes from the municipality where the lot sits, which also applies its zoning by-law. The MRC acts upstream: its land-use plan (schéma d'aménagement) sets the territory's broad designations. So speak to your municipality's planning department.
Is modular realistic in the sector's smallest municipalities?
Nothing forces you to build in a large municipality. Manufacturers deliver everywhere on the Maskinongé territory; what decides feasibility is the target zone's zoning and road access to the lot — two points to validate with the municipality concerned.
How do I choose a manufacturer for a project in the Maskinongé sector?
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.
