If the modifications are minor with no effect on the structure of the house and your adviser is able to estimate and modify the project without referring you to a drawing professional, then the latter can guide you in carrying out the plan.
However, if the modifications are major, the modifications may require the intervention of a professional such as a designer, engineer, architectural technologist or an architect, then you will have to hire at your expense the service of a professional for the design of your plan.

All the houses installed by our teams are covered by the residential construction warranty commonly called GCR, the only mandatory warranty plan for new homes in the province of Quebec.

To answer this question properly, you need to compare apples with apples. To do a proper comparison analysis, many elements must also be considered such as the project’ architectural complexity, size, and choice of finishes like cabinets, flooring, plumbing, etc. In addition, price and quality are determined not only by these choices, but more importantly, by the performance of the house structure, its insulation, and its quality of assembly on-site.

No! There is more than one concept of prefabrication. The two best known offsite construction systems are the modular and panel systems as we prefer at Laprise. This latter method is not restrictive in the choice of models, modifications or even design it authorizes, unlike the modular. In addition, the principle allows those who wish to get involved to varying degrees in their construction to achieve significant savings and/or do it for the pleasure of building their own house. In short, pre-engineered panel construction is very versatile and combines the advantages of prefabrication with all the flexibility of onsite assembly.
