National Model Codes Public Review

The final public review of a proposed change to the 2020 National Model Codes is now open and the Canadian Board for Harmonized Construction Codes (CBHCC) encourages your participation in the review. 

The proposed change in this public review addresses overheating in the National Building Code of Canada. Code users and interested parties are invited to visit the CBHCC’s website, examine the proposed change, and provide feedback. 

The public review runs from today until February 24, 2025. We strongly encourage our industry partners and stakeholders to participate in the 2025 National Construction Codes code development process. 

Following the public review, all comments will be considered by the relevant code development committees, and recommendations on the proposed changes will be made to the CBHCC. If approved, the changes will be included in the 2025 editions of the National Model Codes. 

As we work towards increased harmonization of the construction codes, these consultations are also an opportunity for the Province to receive your feedback on proposed changes that will be considered for adoption in future editions of BC Codes.
