About the Canadian Board for Harmonized Construction Codes

The Canadian Board for Harmonized Construction Codes (CBHCC) is responsible for the development of Canada’s National Model Codes, which contain objectives related to health, safety, the protection of buildings from fire and structural damage, and the protection of the environment.

The CBHCC, which is made up of representatives from provincial, territorial, and federal government departments, approves the content of the National Model Codes and works within a system of groups that provide oversight, advice, and develop proposed changes.
