The British Columbia Building Code: Origin, Purpose and Organization

This is the first of several articles that explore the origin and function of the British Columbia Building Code, how to read and understand the Code, and what it says about roof design and construction. While the material presented here is drawn from various government publications, it also reflects the RCABC's understanding of the Code – its structure, purpose and meaning. The content on this page has been adapted from the original published article in Roofing BC (Winter/Spring 2021).

More to come. Please check back soon!
