Modular in the Mékinac sector

With about 13,182 residents spread across the whole territory, the Mékinac sector lacks the density of the major centres — and that is where factory fabrication earns its keep. The building arrives nearly finished; local site work is limited to the foundation, assembly and connections, whichever municipality you choose.

Procedures and regulations

Two levels govern construction on this territory. The Mékinac 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 Mauricie. Take the time to compare several offers and validate the RBQ licence.
