Modular in the Mauricie sector

With some 213,403 residents, the Mauricie 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

The regulations read from the top down: the Mauricie 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 Mauricie. Take the time to compare several offers and validate the RBQ licence.
