Local BC Scope Details & Technical Standards

Masonry bids need net openings deducted while still counting lintels, bullnose units, control joints, vertical grout spacing, cavity insulation, ties and scaffolding. We follow CSA A371 and CSA A179, and allow for winter heating and enclosure when masonry runs through the cold months.

Provincial Building Code: BC Building Code (the City of Vancouver uses its own Vancouver Building By-law)
Trade Standards: CSA A371 masonry construction · CSA S304 masonry design · CSA A179 mortar and grout · CSA A370 masonry connectors
Permit Authority: Building permits come from the local municipality or regional district; electrical and gas permits from Technical Safety BC unless the municipality has its own inspection authority. Many municipalities require BC Energy Step Code compliance.
Labour Demarcation: High labour cost in Metro Vancouver and the Capital Region; seismic detailing, envelope consultants and Step Code energy modelling add soft-cost and labour hours.
