British Columbia Building Codes

The BC Building Codes 2024 (BCBC) is the authoritative provincial regulation that governs new construction, building alterations, repairs, and demolitions, ensuring the highest standards of safety, health, accessibility, fire, and structural protection of buildings, as well as energy and water efficiency. Reflecting the latest advancements and best practices in building science and technology, the BCBC 2024 applies across British Columbia, with the exception of some federal lands and the City of Vancouver.

Rooted in the model National Codes of Canada and tailored with BC-specific modifications, the BCBC 2024 continues to set the benchmark for building excellence and sustainability.
