Building Ontario Building Code

In 1975 the Province introduced the first Ontario Building Code (OBC), which set out technical requirements for the construction & demolition of buildings. In order to create uniform building regulations throughout the Province, it was mandatory that every jurisdiction employ Building Officials (Inspectors) to administer the OBC. Its primary purpose is to promote public safety through the application of appropriate uniform building standards.
