Did you know that the BC building code has been overhauled? The current building code was last published in 1998 , but by 2003 with changes and amendments it had doubled in size. At that time the BC government decided it's time for an overhaul. They released a draft new Code online and as part of a consultation process, encouraged comments and suggestions.
On Sept.15, 2006 the new 2006 BC Building Code was released. It takes effect Dec.15, 2006. The new code is easier to use and understand, it is objective based ,that defines the objectives and goals of health, safety, accessibility, fire and structural protection are stated up front.
As for timelines, if your project 's permit is issued before Dec.15, 2006 the builder and buildings must comply with the 1998 Building Code. Any permits issued after De.15, 2006 the buildings must comply with the new Building Code.
BC Codes are available free for reference at your local libraries, or www.bccodes.ca .

I admit, I have not been on this real estate blog in a long time… however it was another joy to see it is such an important topic and ignored by so many, even
professionals. I thank you to help making people more aware of possible issues.
Great stuff as usual….
