Local ON Scope Details & Technical Standards

General contractors carry the full scope risk: self-performed work, subtrade buyout, general requirements, bonding, insurance, site logistics and the 10% statutory holdback. We break drawings down division by division, check architectural against structural and MEP sheets, separate GST/HST/PST/QST correctly, and calibrate labour to the province and city of your project.

Provincial Building Code: Ontario Building Code (OBC)
Trade Standards: CCDC 2 stipulated price contract · CIQS elemental cost format · National Master Specification (MasterFormat) · Provincial construction lien / prompt payment acts
Permit Authority: Building permits are issued by the local municipal building department (for example Toronto Building or Ottawa Building Code Services). Electrical permits and inspections run through the ESA; gas and elevating devices through the TSSA.
Labour Demarcation: Strong union presence in ICI construction (IBEW, UA, LiUNA, carpenters' locals) alongside a large open-shop residential sector. Ontario Line, GO Expansion and hospital P3s keep skilled-trade demand high in the GTA.
