Canadian National Building Code

The Canadian National Building Code (NBC) is a set of standards and regulations that guide how buildings are designed, constructed, and maintained across Canada. It ensures buildings are safe, accessible, energy-efficient, and resilient against hazards like fire, earthquakes, and weather. The code addresses aspects such as structural integrity, fire safety, electrical and plumbing systems, and accessibility for all users. Compliance with the NBC helps protect occupants and the community, promoting consistent quality and safety in the built environment nationwide. It is regularly updated to incorporate new technologies, materials, and safety practices.
