2024 BC Building Code Changes - Info Session

Join us at the Kimberley Conference Centre on Wednesday, February 21st, from 7:00 - 9:00 pm to learn about upcoming changes to the BC Building Code. If you are or will be, involved in the construction industry in 2024 and beyond, this session is for you. You will learn about the changes occurring as of March 8th, 2024, when the new BC Building Code is enacted. All permits after this date will be subject to these new requirements.  This will provide everyone with an advanced look at the changes so that costing and planning can be ahead of the upcoming building season.

There will be time for questions and discussion during and after the presentation.  Hope to see you there.
