Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some frequently asked questions from our customers.

Are your plans customizable?

Yes. You can personalize an existing plan from our catalog to suit your needs and lifestyle.

For major modifications, the involvement of a professional—such as an architect or engineer—may be required to ensure feasibility and compliance with applicable standards. In such cases, your project will be subject to a feasibility review by Maisons Laprise, depending on the architectural complexity and requested features.

Can I provide my own plan?

Yes. At Laprise, you can build from our existing plans, modify them, or submit your own plan. We create turnkey custom homes tailored to your needs, lifestyle, and budget.

We also offer the H.O.M prefabricated home series, whose plans are not modifiable. These models are intentionally standardized to optimize construction timelines and costs.

Depending on the architectural complexity and the requested features, your custom project may be subject to a feasibility analysis.

Can I choose my interior and exterior finish?

Yes. For Laprise custom homes, you can select from a wide range of materials and colors to suit your style and needs including exterior cladding, architectural shingles, doors and windows, hardware, interior doors, moldings, plumbing fixtures, kitchen and bathroom cabinetry, as well as staircases and flooring, etc.

For the H.O.M prefabricated home series, finish and color selections are predetermined by our designers. This standardization ensures aesthetic consistency, streamlines production, and helps optimize construction costs and timelines.

Quelles sont les garanties chez Maisons Laprise ?

As a major builder, Maisons Laprise works exclusively with carefully selected contractors, recognized for their expertise and experience in residential projects. We oversee the full administration of the Garantie de construction résidentielle (GCR) warranty plan, giving you peace of mind.

All our homes—whether custom-built or prefabricated—are covered by the GCR, the mandatory warranty plan for new residential buildings in Quebec.

This warranty protects homeowners against construction defects and may provide coverage for up to five years, depending on the terms and components included in the GCR plan. With Maisons Laprise, you can invest with confidence, knowing your home is in expert hands and backed by a solid, recognized protection plan.

Why did Laprise stop offering DIY-construction?

Our clients’ needs are evolving. And we listen to our clients. After more than 35 years of experience in construction and prefabrication, Laprise decided to discontinue self-construction in order to provide comprehensive building services while ensuring the quality, safety, and durability of every project.

By entrusting Laprise the project’s off-site logistics and the site construction to our network of certified Partner Contractors, we guarantee:

Compliance with construction and safety standards

Professional supervision at every stage of the project

Turnkey delivery in line with Laprise standards

Use of local labor and materials from regional suppliers, reducing transportation and carbon footprint

Precise control of resource needs through our advanced construction management technology, optimizing efficiency and minimizing waste

This approach gives our clients peace of mind while allowing them to enjoy modern, high-performance, and durable homes, the result of over 35 years of expertise.

By choosing Laprise, you also contribute to a responsible and environmentally conscious project. Proud of our prefabrication expertise, we continue to firmly believe in the role of this approach in the future of construction. Our H.O.M prefabricated home series perfectly illustrates this philosophy: combining quality, speed, and cost optimization with modern, functional design.

Is a Laprise home less expensive or more expensive than others?

The cost of a home depends on several factors: architectural complexity, project size, destination, choice of finishes, as well as the performance of the structure, insulation, waterproofing, and overall construction quality.

At Maisons Laprise, we exceed standard building code requirements to deliver high-performance, comfortable homes. With over 35 years of experience, our purchasing power, construction expertise, and reliable on-site partnerships, we provide solid and durable homes at a fair price. Our project management and cost estimation plateform ensures full transparency, avoiding surprises during construction.

For those seeking style, speed, and savings, the H.O.M prefabricated home series offers models designed to reduce costs while including quality features, without compromising on design or performance.

Do you have homes for sale or units available for rent?

We are a builder and manufacturer of prefabricated modular homes and multi-unit buildings. In certain regions, we offer townhouses and multi-unit units for sale or rent, available for visits by appointment.

Explore our projects in the “Real Estate Projects” section of our website to see homes for sale or units for rent.

For more information or to schedule a visit, contact us through the “Contact Us” section of our website or by phone, according to your preference.

Are all prefabricated homes built the same way?

No! There are several approaches to prefabrication and off-site construction, the most common being modular construction and pre-engineered panel systems.

At Maisons Laprise, we master all these prefabrication technologies and adapt our methods to the specific needs of each client.

.For custom homes, we prioritize high-quality materials and local collaborators.

.H.O.M series homes are assembled from pre-engineered components and prefabricated mechanical modules to optimize efficiency and construction speed.

.Multi-residential buildings are manufactured in our world-class factory, ensuring performance and durability.

Every project thus benefits from construction that is tailored, efficient, and reliable, regardless of the type of home.

Do you have model homes?

Yes, we have a few model homes available for visits at our Québec location, at 2372 Boulevard Wilfrid-Hamel.

However, these model homes do not represent our full range of possibilities. Since every project is custom-built, it is impossible to showcase all the design and personalization options offered by Maisons Laprise.

For inspiration, explore the “Inspiration” section on our website. To get more information and ensure the availability of an expert advisor, we recommend scheduling an appointment before your visit.

If I move to another region, can you build my project?

Yes, absolutely! Thanks to our growing network of Laprise Certified Partner Contractors, we can manage projects in most regions of Quebec.

You can plan your project from the sales office of your choice, while our certified local teams handle the complete construction on your site.
