Once we have a discussion with you, here’s how the planning, designing, and completion process of the project will proceed:
No worries if you have yet not find an ideal property to construct your residence. Simply let us know your needs, location preferences and other recommendations, and our custom home builder in Ontario will get back to you with the options that align with your demands.
Once the location is finalized, then we will proceed with the designing phase. You will convey your vision with our skilled architects who will turn those ideas into a beauty reality for you. You have two options:
The Ontario Building Code (OBC), governed by the Building Code Act, sets detailed technical requirements for construction, renovations, and building use in Ontario. It aims to ensure public safety, fire protection, resource conservation, environmental integrity, and accessibility. The Code establishes uniform standards covering health and safety, fire protection, structural sufficiency, construction materials, plumbing, and mechanical systems. Administered by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, the Code promotes building safety and can be viewed on the Province of Ontario’s website. All home builders in Ontario, Canada, have to adhere to these guidelines to build a home free of legal complications.
In Ontario, Municipalities are responsible for enforcement, including appointing qualified officials and issuing permits in compliance with the Act. The Act also establishes a code of conduct for building officials and inspectors to maintain ethical standards. Additionally, municipalities have the authority to establish property standards by-laws, enforce property maintenance, and impose administrative penalties. Housing innovation guides are available to facilitate creative housing solutions and ensure compliance with building regulations.
Additionally, it’s crucial to adhere to zoning bylaws, which regulate land use, permitted building types, and other development regulations. Zoning bylaws implement a municipality’s official plan, ensuring the community’s development aligns with its vision. Any construction not compliant with these bylaws will be denied a building permit. If a proposed development doesn’t adhere to existing zoning, individuals can apply for a zoning change or amendment but must ensure it aligns with the official plan.
The OBC sets standards for structural safety, fire protection, ventilation, and accessibility to ensure the home is safe for occupants. Here are some of those:
Ensure compliance with the Ontario Building Code, adhering to regulations for construction projects outlined in O. Reg. 213/91.
Follow the hierarchy of controls to protect workers against hazards, prioritizing elimination, substitution, engineering controls, administrative controls, and personal protective equipment (PPE). To ensure the labourers or workers on site are protected, the Ontario Ministry of Labour and Training and Skills Development. Set the essential Ontario Health and Safety Act.
Follow the specific regulations for construction projects, such as those pertaining to general requirements, access to and egress from work areas, housekeeping, fire protection, public way protection, traffic control, fall protection and roofing, hygiene, forms, falsework and re-shoring, equipment, electrical hazards, and excavations.
Consider guidance materials on the Construction Health and Safety Program to better understand how regulations apply to a workplace and achieve compliance.
