National Building Code of
Canada 2010 |
The National Building Code of
Canada (NBC) is the "bible" of the construction industry, designed to
ensure that buildings are structurally sound, safe from fire, free of health
hazards, and accessible. Prepared by the Canadian Commission on Building and
Fire Codes (CCBFC), the NBC sets out technical provisions for the design and
construction of new buildings. It also applies to the alteration, change of use
and demolition of existing buildings.

the 2010 National Building Code concern: |

- Protection Against Falls from Residential Occupancy
Windows

Division A includes compliance options and
information on objectives and functional statements. Objectives describe the
overall goals that a particular Code's provisions are intended to achieve.
Functional statements describe the functions that a building or its components
must perform to fulfill the objectives. At least one objective and one
functional statement are linked to each technical requirement to help users
better understand the reason why a particular requirement must be met and to
help them evaluate alternative solutions.
In Division B, Code users can
find the "acceptable solutions," which consist of the Code provisions updated
with technical changes.
Finally, Division C contains administrative
provisions, which have all been consolidated into this one
place.
Available in two practical formats:
- A two-volume binder version that lies flat for easy
reference easily accommodates updates.
- A two-volume soft-cover version that contains the
same information as the binder, at about half the weight. This format is ideal
for the job site.
Note: The two volumes must be purchased as a set;
volumes are not available to be purchased individually. |
The
Quebec version currently in force:
It will take between two to three years
before the Quebec government adopts the 2010 Canadian code. The Quebec code in
force for now is still the document released in 2008 and based on the previous
code of Canada. It is called: Quebec Construction Code - Chapter 1- Building
and National Building Code of Canada 2005 (amended). Details are available by clicking on this
