Consumer Protection
At least one consumer protection measure expected is the introduction of a modernized BC Building Code. In fact, the new edition will be released for public review by early fall, before coming into effect by year's end.
Each technical provision in the Code will be supported by objectives and explanations of its importance. The new format should create minimal disruption, as information and clarifications of provisions will be included.
The current Code (1998) allows for innovation and some flexibility where compliance is concerned; the modernized Code will include more specific "alternate solutions"
