Modular construction in Saint-Félicien
In Saint-Félicien, as in nearby municipalities (Roberval, Saguenay), 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.
Comparing factory prices alone would be misleading: a project in Saint-Félicien also includes the land, the foundation, the connections and transporting the modules to the municipality. The good news on financing — once on its foundation, a modular home is treated like any other residence.

Permits and regulations in Saint-Félicien
Saint-Félicien's zoning dictates where and how the home can be sited (setbacks, height, placement), and a municipal permit is required before work begins. The Quebec Building Code (RBQ) applies to the whole project; the factory-built portion is governed by CSA A277 certification, while the foundation, connections and assembly are inspected by the municipality.
Check zoning rules and permit applications directly with the municipality: www.ville.stfelicien.qc.ca.
