Building and Plumbing Code Interpretations

The BC Building Code Interpretation Committee is comprised of the following stakeholders:

AIBC / EGBC / BOABC / City of Vancouver

The purpose of the BC Building Code Interpretation Committee is to:

To facilitate province wide uniformity in the interpretation of the BC Building Code
To receive, discuss and evaluate interpretation requests from code users
To arrive at a consensus on the final wording of each interpretation for signature by the Chair
To disseminate the completed interpretations to code users

The committee is not time-sensitive, meaning it can not, and should not, be used to provide immediate site-specific interpretation. The committee meets with the intention of providing generic interpretations that can form a basis for greater conformity and consistency in code use and application.
