Building Act Information Now Online

The Building Act is now available on the Building Act website at www.gov.bc.ca/buildingact.

The website includes a link to the final text of the Building Act as well as the first two sections of the Building Act Guide. The guide provides plain-language information about the Building Act and will be prepared in sections as corresponding parts of the Act come into force.

In addition, the new Building Codes and Standards website is available at www.gov.bc.ca/buildingcodes. The Building and Safety Standards Branch will complete the transition from the former website to the new website over the coming months.
