MONTMAGNY, QC, Nov. 17, 2017 /CNW Telbec/ - The Fonds régionaux de solidarité FTQ Chaudière—Appalaches has forged a real estate development partnership with Maisons Laprise, a reputed manufacturer of energy-efficient pre-engineered homes since 1989.

This partnership will support the company's growth plans, which it began implementing in recent years by, among other things, acquiring land for residential development.

Maisons Laprise owes its success to its pre-engineered homes, which use patented high-performance prefabricated panels.  Manufacturing in a controlled environment sheltered from outside elements ensures better quality control, enhances productivity, cuts labour costs and improves construction lead times.
