Ontario’s building code is going through a long, arduous update process and the latest phase of consultations was recently posted to the provincial regulatory registry.
In Ontario, the building code encompasses everything from construction, to building safety to plumbing. At the national level, the individual codes are housed in separate books, but deal with the same topics. Some industry players and watchers are fans of the effort, while others are concerned it’ll further complicate building in a province and country facing severe housing shortages.
The latest model national code was supposed to come out in 2020, but got delayed to March 2022, partly because of the big harmonization effort. When the model code came out, it started a 24-month process in Ontario. By March 2024, the province will have to further align its code with the national one.
A previous round of consultations focused on reducing “technical variations with the 2015'' national code.
