Building Inspections

Why do I need building inspections?

Building inspections are required at various stages of construction under the Ontario Building Code to ensure all construction is done in accordance with approved plans. An inspector will visit your site and confirm that the minimum requirements of the Ontario Building Code have been satisfied and the building is safe to occupy. 

Most renovation, construction or demolition projects require a building permit before construction can start. Please remember that it is illegal to start construction before receiving your building permit.
