Affordable prefab housing is coming to Pointe-à-la-Croix

Pointe-à-la-Croixis one of the 17 municipalities in the 478-unit affordable prefab housing contract carried by the Société de développement de l’Est, reported by La Presse in August 2026 — one of the largest contracts of its kind in Quebec history, according to the people behind it. 56 units are planned here, according to La Presse. The municipalities provide the land, Quebec and Ottawa provide financing, and the six-unit buildings are assembled from modules built in Quebec factories. First deliveries are expected from spring 2027. Our article breaks down the structure, per-door costs and selected manufacturers.

Modular construction in Pointe-à-la-Croix

In Pointe-à-la-Croix, as in nearby municipalities (Carleton-sur-Mer, Gaspé), a modular project follows the same path: factory fabrication sheltered from the weather, transport, then assembly on a permanent foundation. Because so much of the work happens before anything reaches the lot, site and weather risks are reduced.

On top of the building price, a project in Pointe-à-la-Croix carries off-factory costs: the land, the foundation, the connections — water and sewer, or well and septic depending on the sector — and module transport. That total is what you should compare from one builder to the next. On a permanent foundation, the home then finances like any other property.

In the factory, fabrication falls under CSA A277 certification; on the lot, the foundation, connections and assembly go through municipal inspection.
