Local BC Scope Details & Technical Standards

MEP divisions carry a large share of commercial construction cost, and most change orders happen at the hand-offs: mechanical starters and VFDs, electrical feeds, fire alarm duct-smoke tie-ins and condensate drains. Our MEP team estimates all four trades together, against CEC, NPC and NECB requirements, so nothing falls between subtrades.

Provincial Building Code: BC Building Code (the City of Vancouver uses its own Vancouver Building By-law)
Trade Standards: Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1 · National Plumbing Code of Canada · NECB energy requirements · NFPA 13 as referenced by the National Building Code
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.
