Modulable

What Modulable does

Modulable (formerly AMB Modulaire) is a Quebec-based general contractor specializing in volumetric modular construction. The company manufactures standardized factory-built modules in two sizes (12'x32' and 12'x42'), certified to CSA-A277 and CSA-A660-10 standards, which are transported and assembled on-site to deliver complete buildings. With over 250 completed projects and a permanent inventory of 115+ rental complexes, Modulable offers both outright sale and rental (CapEx-to-OpEx conversion) options to clients.

The company serves three primary verticals: institutional/public sector (Quebec school boards, healthcare facilities, detention facilities, community centers), commercial and industrial (offices, laboratories, production workshops, training centers, technical rooms), and modular accommodations (worker housing, student residences, emergency relief housing, transitional housing for vulnerable populations). Its product portfolio includes modular classrooms, sanitary blocks, gymnasiums, libraries, security posts, cafeterias, and multi-purpose complexes configurable to client specifications.

Modulable operates a turnkey delivery model covering design, manufacturing, transport, assembly, finishing, and ongoing maintenance. The company holds a Quebec RBQ general contractor license and pursues Climate Smart business certification through BMO Radicle. In 2023, it secured a strategic investment from CDPQ (Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec) as part of a family succession, with capital earmarked for pan-Canadian expansion. Headquartered in Laval with a manufacturing facility in Rivière-Rouge, the company employs approximately 25 people and generates revenue through project sales, multi-year rental contracts, and turnkey general contractor services.
