Coming Soon: 2024 Ontario Building Code Update

The 2024 edition of the Ontario Building Code is anticipated to be released in the upcoming weeks. The focus of this Code cycle was to effect changes that will result in reducing regulatory burdens for the construction industry and make it easier to build housing.

The 2024 Ontario Building Code will come into effect on January 1, 2025, with an additional transition period allowing permit applicants to continue to use the 2012 Building Code for applications submitted before March 31, 2025, provided applicants can demonstrate that their working plans were substantially completed prior to December 31, 2024 (the application of this permission is anticipated to be further detailed in the coming weeks).
